My Two Cents

I'm Kim ...one of the cousins in our big family. I'm known to be a lovable but very dippy bird, a bit of a dreamer, a sparkling gypsy and all round eccentric really. I generally respect and obey my elders which is why I'm writing this entry in response to a request from my eldest cousin Mark. (that last sentence will provoke some comment for the rest of the family no doubt).

I don't want to write about me or what I do or where I live, because I consider it quite inconsequential. But I will say something nice about our Big Family. As Mark said we are a family with at least 7 surnames , living in 6 countries and here's the fun part....we come in a few different colours too that's because we are MULTIRACIAL. Of course we also come with our pets - the cats, dogs, gerbils, birds, fish - although our pets have never really met each other.

We have all sort of characters here - the globe trotters, the fishing fanatics, the gossip mongers, the bossy boots, the cooking gurus, the shrewd shrews, the yarn makers, the tale tellers, the penny pinchers, the merry swingers, the serious nerds, the comediennes and the generally despised. But beneath all our physical, characteristic and geographical differences, we share a very strong bond of love and family is really important to us all, which is why although we are a mix of first and second cousins, we are all pretty tight knit bunch.

It's true that you cannot chose your family- fortunately for me, I've been blessed with the best and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.
