It came from Pen* and these are the rules:
THE INTERVIEW RULES
* if you want, leave me a comment with your email address saying: “interview me”
* i will then e-mail you five questions of my choice
* you can answer the questions on your blog {with a link back to my blog}
* you should also post these rules, along with an offer to interview anyone else who emails you.
* it would be nice if the questions were individualized for each blogger
1. You are granted three wishes by a genie, what would they be?
Long life and good health for me and my loved ones.
The freedom and means to live anywhere in the world.
Global peace, love and understanding (as the song goes).

2. Tell me something enchanting about a dog you've photographed.
This isn't really what you meant but I have to tell you about Ruby. Nine years ago I was about to move into a lovely cottage with an old stove in a big kitchen and I knew that I should have another (fifth) dog, but perhaps an old one who needed a home. Through a friend's contacts I rang someone at Battersea Dogs' Home and got through to the 'old dogs' person. They said they'd a dog in mind for me but I said,"She sounds lovely but... I keep thinking of a small white dog...Jack Russell X? Bit doddery, maybe a bit deaf and can't see too well, who just needs a warm bed some good food and a country garden to potter in while she lives out her days."
The woman on the phone went quiet and then said in a teary voice,"She's here. We'd given up on her ever finding anyone and were going to put her to sleep this evening."
Ruby fitted my description exactly. She came home with me that weekend and we all moved to the cottage. She lived another 9 months and I have many photos of her pottering among the hollyhocks in the sunshine.

4. What's the bestest, best, best, thing about being a mother?
Hugs, hugs and more hugs. Seeing this tiny person, who has already overcome so much, blossoming and bursting with potential and filling the house with her crazy laugh.
Evie. She's the bestest, best, best thing about being a mother.

5. Fast forward 10 years, right now, describe where you are.
I don't think I can but I'll try... successful dog photography business...happy home with Charlie and Evie...supporting Charlie in his dreams and Evie in hers...doing more Reiki...travelling back to China with Evie for her first (second?) trip to Guangxi...a hugely waggie Staffie/Goldendoodle/Black & Tan mix...living a simpler, more enviro-friendly life...being healthy, creative, fulfilled and full of enthusiasm for life...having a great big lotus tattoo on my arm.
Who's next?
(See you Sunday, Pen!)
