Hi everyone, my name is Penny and I am so glad I have found you all.

As always, I am late to the party but am so glad I have found this fantastic community. I really hope I can add something great here. But looking forward to trying anyway. So without further ado, please let me introduce myself.
About Me
I live in the UK with my partner and my 3-year-old dog. She is a Patterdale Bedlington Cross and mad as a box of frogs.

And I wouldn't be without her!
My Professional Background
I work full time within the telecommunications industry, which is as interesting as it sounds. Before that, I was in the British Army which I loved. I have done many fun things away with the Army including walking, orienteering, skiing and sailing. Yes, I did some work too.
My Interests
I love to walk and go away camping. We have got one of those cars that you can sort of use as a camper van which is awesome. All the fun and you can still get into car parks. Love going to music festivals and just listening to live music. I still love to travel but just can't do it as much as I would like now. I follow cycling, rugby league and rugby union but not necessarily in that order. I also like to garden and grow my own vegetables though I am not terribly good at it. If we had to live on what I grow, we would have starved to death by now. Despite not being able to grow food, I am interested in recipes especially ones you can cook when out camping.
My Projects
I love to write, and so I have a blog. I am also working on some fiction and nonfiction books. Clearly, my big project at the minute is investigating this great community. I really am so pleased to be a part of it. Well, thanks for reading this post and I am looking forward to getting to know many of you.

hello lady welcome to steemit,hope you enjoy here a lot...

Welcome to the party Penny and you are right on time!

Welcome to Steemit Penny! Glad to have you here. I love to ski (mostly cross country) and I love camping and the outdoors as well. My parent's had a big garden my whole life and I loved walking around picking tomatoes and cucumbers since I was 2 or 3 years old. (You really cant beat freshly picked produce) I'm an adventure filmmaker, I've been doing it full time for a few years. I post some tutorials and stuff about it on my blog, so check it out if you're interested! There are lots of spam accounts on steemit so it might help you to do something to help verify you're a real person. Lots of people post a photo of themselves holding a sign where they've written steemit, their username, and the date. It's not mandatory, but it helps. I hope you do well here on this platform. Let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything.

You're not late, fashionably late maybe... but the party is just getting started!

Thanks for the warm welcome Jeff. I will find your blog and follow you - adventure filmmaker sounds great.

Welcome to the community! I just joined Steemit myself about 2 weeks ago. Make sure to check out Steemfollower since it is a great way to get upvotes which could be difficult at the start since you don't have that many followers! If you need help setting up Steemfollower, feel free to check out my Guide on How to Set up your Steemfollower!
Followed! Wish you all the best luck!

Thank you so much. Yes, it all appears so new and daunting! I will carry out both your suggestions and let you know how it goes!

Hi, Penny and Welcome! Isn't Steemit exciting? I haven't been to sleep since I saw my Steemit 'you're approved' email yesterday! ;)

Thanks for sharing, I'll follow you and plz give your darling mad-as-a-box-of-frogs dog companion a hug from Jamaica for me. She is so adorable with her to-die-for eyes....
