Hello!!!

My name is Samantha; but I am a Sam, too much of a tomboy!!!

I live in the village of Polesworth in Satffordshire in the UK. I am married to Andrew and we have a little (well not so little) boy called Benjamin who is 8.

My interest are knitting, astronomy, card making and VW Beetles!

I have been knitting on and off since my nan taught me as a child but I really got into it about 18 months ago. I have knit several pairs of socks and hats. My recently finished off items are for my friend for Christmas and are a hat, scarf and a facecloth.

I have only just got into astronomy after staring at the stars for years. I have a Celestron EQ 114 Short 'scope. I am only just getting into it and still learning the basics. I have had excellent views of Jupiter and the Moon and have managed to find the Andromeda Galaxy although it was not very clear but I am enjoying the learning process.

I LOVE VW Beetles, although I do not own one. I try to go to Bug Jam at SantaPod Raceway every year. It is definatly an expreience! Although this year with the very heavy rain we had it was a bit of a wash out!!!

Well that's all for now, I will post some pictures soon!
