Mine was inspired by the poster who thought the ABBA song Fernando had the line "They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando" and though it was Lee Bertie who was someone special in their life 😄

I've had a few name changes over the years. This one was after I finally read Anne of Green Gables around 4 years ago.

I was young in the 80s and it had some cracking tunes !

TheChippendenSpook · 14/02/2024 16:13

I wanted TheSpook or TheCountySpook but I couldn't have it. It's from the Wardstone Chronicles books about a Spook's apprentice.

They're a bit like Harry Potter in the fact they're children's books but get darker as the series goes on.

My favourite trees.

I am originally from Germany and I hated that Brexit forced me to apply for British citizenship to continue living here without any fears.

We spoke about it for a long time and toyed with it, the costs and paperwork involved always caused us not to do it.

TheDowagerDoughnut · 14/02/2024 16:18

I name change frequently but this latest one came from reading a thread talking about what Camilla would be called if Charles died first and eating a doughnut Grin
