Murphy mole has been a member since November 2006, and is a moderator on Blogship Lollipop.

Her star sign is Pisces (the fishes), and a quick search on Google reveals the following information: "Pisces is the most compassionate sign out of all the sign of the Zodiac", and "Pisces woman has a heart of gold, instilled with a deep intuition for the feelings of others".

She is a lovely divorced lady of many talents which include writing poetry, running karaokes, super photography, and she's very handy with a needle and thread. She has 4 children, 4 grandchildren and two dogs called Jess and Dingle. She has a caravan on the east coast, in Lincolnshire, and loves spending lots of her time there, although she actually resides in Nottingham.

Murphmole started Nurse training when she first left school, but didn't complete it. She used to be a Publican, and comes from a long line of publicans. This may explain her love of karaoke (she loves getting up and 'strutting her stuff'). She worked for a while in a nursing home, and then took on the care of an elderly gentleman in her street. She also enjoyed being a "Brown Owl" for 13 years.

For those of you who have ever wondered what inspired her choice of "Nom de plume" I have copied the following poem from one of her earliest blogs.

My New Friend
By Murphymole

I met a little friend one day, his name is Murphy Mole.
I saw him through my window as he popped up from his hole.
He gave me such a cheeky grin as he scooped earth in a mound,
And with a "Top of the mornin" he went back underground.

We became good friends young Murphy Mole and me.
He'd often drop on by, and we'd share a cup of tea.
I drank mine from a china cup, but as he was so tiny,
He had his from my thimble, it was silver and so shiny.

I learnt a lot about him as we chatted in the sun.
Murphy came from Ireland and he was a lot of fun.
He talked about his country of fields so very green,
He said it was the prettiest place that you had ever seen.

Now you may think me silly talking to a mole,
But you have never met our Murphy he's a very clever sole.
I was surprised the first time he said "Hello" to me,
And I had to blink and rub my eyes to check what I could see.

So this little book I've written so you can read his tales.
He is a funny creature and he never ever fails,
To make me laugh when I'm feeling sad,
So if it brings you pleasure I will be really glad.
