Random factoids

I've been asked for 5 random facts about myself by Milla, so here goes..

1. I was called after my Grandma Alys, she was called after a heroine from a book, I wish I knew what the book was. I was nearly called Phoebe after my Mum's best cat.
2. My Grandad Bert made the Queen's wedding cake - I remember him teaching me how to make sugar roses and marzipan fruits.
3. I lived in Ireland as a kid, and learnt Irish at school, all I can remember now is how to ask if I can please go to the toilet.
4. I was on an episode of Playschool when I was 3, we got filmed crossing the Mersey on a ferry...through the square widow (naturally).
5. Everyday I think how lucky I am to have such lovely family and friends
