I was possibly wearing one. I also love sky blue cardigans, among others. I'm probably quite a beige person, being fairly middle of the road but hopefully with hidden depths.
Because many years ago I noticed an article in Country Living with a picture of a woman potting plants in a greenhouse wearing a a cream cashmere jumper. The caption was "Here is Pernilla, gardening, in her vanilla cashmere sweater, £lotsandlots from (very expensive shop) " Part of me wanted to be that Pernilla, so she is now my alter ego.
The first part is my name, but not the name I’m known by, it’s my middle name, and I like it better than the name I’m actually known by. The second bit has no relevance at all really, except that we were down to one cat when we’d actually had three. Sadly we’re now down to no cats since our last sweet boy died last year.
I chose mine quickly and without much thought, when I was a new member. My nephew used to call me Norts, when he was a toddler (he’s 42 now).
I wish I had been a bit more creative because I love some of the other user names on GN - QuaintIrene, Dragonfly, BlueBelle and Sark are all lovely and more artistic/interesting than Norts ...
