CryptoGranny says hello & thank you for your kind welcome!

My son @samstonehill posted an article 4 hours ago to introduce me to Steemit and I am completely blown away to see how much this has made already! $112 it says! 🌻

I don't fully understand how Steemit works yet but I am very grateful to you all for your generous support of my son over the last year and also for supporting his introduction post for his mummy! 🐒

He says he is going to give me half of the Steem earned from his post. So that sounds rather nice 💰

He will have to teach me how to put it in my new Bitcoin wallet after that. 💳

I am very excited to see how much my Bitcoin has risen over the last four months!

I am going to write a proper introduction post as soon as I have time, as there are many things I would like to tell you about. 🌅

This is a very old photo showing my brothers & sisters. I am the one on the left. The oldest of the Thompson clan. I'm not going to tell you my age. You will just have to guess it based on the photos in this post!

As Sammy said, I have done much travelling and seen how beautiful this world is... and I know now that it doesn't matter what age you are to be able to do what we did. 🌴

My husband Peter & I changed our lives completely when we bought a Toyota Land Cruiser we nicknamed Boris the Beast. 🚍

We left England in December 2007, drove through France and Spain, before ferrying across to Morocco and then headed south, working our way down the west side of Africa, sometimes staying with the people we met along the way. Other times we slept in our on-vehicle tent, which was also equipped with a shower! 💦

There were a few hairy moments, sometimes having to tackle extremely rough roads and harsh weather conditions. 🌊

Once in South Africa, we took a much needed breather and a well needed rest with my brother who has a house near Cape Town. 🌇

Here are a few pages from our website where we posted our entire journey which last three years.

Thank you again for your generosity! 🎆

And if you were wondering how it is that I have been able to put this article together at my age, I have to admit that Sammy did give me some help. And he also showed me this great list full of emojis, which I love! https://steemit.com/emojis/@blueorgy/steemit-emojis-master-list

oh dear.... I appear to have misspelt introduceyourself as my first tag! And apparently I can't change it now. Almost got it right Sammy! 🌞
