helenwalland Learning the ropes... Registered: Thu Jan 29 2009 Posts: 3 Loc: South Normanton Derbyshire UK	Hi! My name is Helen and I live in Derbyshire England. It is one of the most beautiful counties with lovely walking areas. We moved here from Birmingham when we retired. My husband is American and we spend time in Indiana with his relatives and in North Carolina at the family holiday home near Ashville. I enjoy Funtrivia and have recently started writing my own quizzes - mainly about dogs. I know nothing about modern music (mind you British 60s is another matter), Stephen King books, US quarters and many other esoteric subjects. javascript:void(0) I always do the Global Challenge and hope to get to 9 before it closes. Despite being retired I don't seem to find enough time in each day to actually get any housework done - does that resonate with anyone out there? javascript:void(0)
