More of your questions answered

Amy - I would like to know how you went from having a spanking dynamic in your marriage
to blogging, then writing and publishing books, and now selling canes?
Ha! So would i:) it wasn't planned I promise you, one thing just tumbled into another and I was blogging when still doing crazy hours sometimes, helping P and then setting up my own little import business when P's work was running like clockwork. It's not a recognised career path that's for sure!

Have you always been so industrious?
Industrious yes, I suppose so thinking back, you have to be in your own business, I think I get it from P.

Which of the three have you found has created the most lasting friendships for you?
For friendships and enjoyment I think my blog.

Fondles - Chocolate or vanilla?
Neither as I don't do ice cream, yes it's true, I'm not over keen on the stuff.

What 3 items would you never go on vacation without?
Other than clothes and the obvious. Medication, mini first aid kit, a spanking implement.

Baker - What is your least favourite spanking implement?
A holey paddle which was gifted to me by Bogey and Bacall. It's just a small simple paddle but wow to me it's sharp, stings and I often think of hiding it. P really enjoys threatening its use.

Least favourite position to be put in for a spanking?
Don't really have one now.  One I never used to like was 'bend over and touch the floor/toes'

but that 'instruction'. Free standing is not a stable position and, also, P says it stretches the flesh too tight, I think he's right. It's been discontinued years ago:)

Meredith - What six month period would you like to relive in your life?
Didn't think I'd get that one back:) When I met P, when we used to own pubs/nightclubs or maybe when we lived in Spain. not any of these....It would be high school years. I was very sporty, (track and field), also was a member of a very well known running club. I represented school and county a number of times, I was thought to be very good, but Nelson my coach at the club said not good enough unless I committed 100% to the training to take it further. At that time, there was so much going on, school, clubs, friends, exams. I couldn't commit (or maybe I didn't want to). So I think I'd like to relive that period and I would do and handle things differently and really commit to the training and go for gold.

Red - Has P ever swatted your bottom in public, where others have seen?
Oh yes quite a few times - he finds it amusing.

Have you talked any more with your friend you told that you have a blog bout spanking, and how did that conversation work out?
We briefly spoke about it but it was a short visit as her husband wasn't doing too well that day. Some things just overshadow spanking.

Has anyone ever commented in your office building about spankings, possibly having heard P and yourself?
We are very careful when we use the office other than for work. 

Richard - What ever became of those striped knickers with the lace edging and the rose thorn Leather paddle?
Knickers have long gone but still have the lovely rose paddle.

Katie - Do you have a fav blogging memory?
The day Bonnie spotted my blog. Just think if she hadn't, I wouldn't have met the wonderful friends I have.

Katie I asked P to answer your next question...

If I was going to purchase a "first" cane, what would you tell me to think about/point me toward (LOL beyond the obvious sting)?
One that's controllable, not too long or too thick and don't start off with a curly handle one even though they look the part because they are the hardest of all to handle. Know your partner's parameters and don't go at it too hard to start because successful caning is all about accuracy and too many mis-placed strokes can ruin the experience before it's been given a fair chance. The harder you cane the more likely you'll mis-place, even those of us very familiar with the cane do it and I personally hate it when one goes where it shouldn't (it doesn't happen often nowadays).  Practise make perfect! As for an ideal "first" I'd say straight handle, 60cm long, 7-8mm thick would be controllable but still capable. You can always trade up or down depending on preference when you've 'got to know' it.

Thanks to Amy, Fondles, Baker, Meredith, Red, Richard and Katie for the great questions.

Love,

You Asked - I Answered

Jan - Where is one place in the world you would absolutely love to visit?

If I had the time and money I would just travel the world so it's hard to pick one. A few that would be top of my list would be - India, Japan and Canada.

Is there one implement you would love to try but haven't, either because you can't get one or that P won't use?
We've tried a few different ones but as yet I haven't come across or heard of one that I would like to try that I haven't already. As you know, recently a lovely friend sent me a razor strop

something I'd never thought about or tried but glad I have. It will, I think become an implement that grows with us. P is up for trying any new implements but he's actually quite careful about first time use...he says he isn't but I know he is. He has a secret practise first...on a cushion or something:) 
If anyone has any suggestions on different  implements let me know.

Roz - Have you ever had a spanking you truly didn't want?
Yes I've definitely had  spankings I truly didn't want. And I'm certain I've written about them, at least some of them, more going back a few years than recent though. 

What is your favourite childhood memory?
I had a happy childhood and lots of memories. My favourite times were when my aunts took me and cousins to Llandudno, Wales. We went there every year for about 5 years. We played on the beach all day, the weather always seemed like there was never ending sunshine, stayed up late, went to cafes, ate fish and chips out of paper walking along the promenade. We didn't have a care in the world. Happy times.

Favourite place you have visited? 
We've been lucky to have travelled so I have lots of places I've loved but I think because of the experience it would be China. We went as guests of our Korean partner (who was living in China at the time) and were privileged to be taken to places many westerners don't see.  One day in Beijing, I left P in our hotel room to finish up on some work and took a stroll. We were staying on the same street as Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City but as P wasn't with me (of course we wanted to see them together) I went in the opposite direction and came upon a long shopping street. I decided to take a look and see some of the shops. 
Some of the people stopped and stared, I suppose it was because there were no other westerners around and a western women on her own but the young students came up to me asking if I was American, when I said no I'm British, they were disappointed, true. They just wanted to speak English (well American really). I didn't get very far down the street:)

Lindy - What is one thing both you and P pack when travelling?
If we are going for a week or more and there's a beach involved I pack a bat and ball as we still love playing with them on the beach:) European city breaks, P always pack a green garden cane but he has packed one of my canes.

Have you ever tried any unusual foods on your travels?
When we visited China our hosts took us to a restaurant where you cooked your own food over hot stones. Our host had booked a private room and sadly we didn't get to cook our own as it was all done for us by restaurant staff...we would have preferred to have been in the hubub of the main restaurant doing it as the locals were. We had some very unusual types of fish and spiders in batter which were cooked in oil. Being guests in China we had to try everything as it would have offended otherwise. Our host did tell us the names but I can't remember.

The Glenmore - Would you like to turn the tables on P and give him a spanking?
I have given him swats here and there and to be honest sometimes when he annoys me, I think I would love to tell him to bend and spank him:) but that wont happen.

Morningstar - I am curious to know how long you have been blogging?
It will be 10 years in December. I thought two years at the tops and I would stop but no, I'm still here enjoying it and still a pleasure. It's been wonderful to meet so many friends.

What country you live in?
In the UK.

Ella -  I always enjoy the pictures you share with us. Do you find them on your own, or does someone send you them occasionally?
Thank you. I love spanking pictures especially black and whites (as I know you do) I mainly find them myself. No trick, knack or anything like that, just spot them when searching for new blogs for my 'In with the New' spot. I wish I could find more! 

I did receive this special drawing from a lovely friend. She knows my love of the cane.

Thanks to Jan, Roz, Lindy, The Glenmore, Morningstar and Ella for the great questions. More next week.

Have a fun weekend and If you're celebrating St Patrick's day - enjoy.
