MUPPET'S FANS.... DO YOU FANCY A BIT OF CRUMPET? - Jan Allison's Blog

About Jan Allison

Thought I better get round to writing a bit about myself. 

I'm married and live on the Isle of Man 

My poetry journey began in November 2013 after my husband was diagnosed with cancer. The first poem I wrote was called was Splendid Isolation. This was written after we returned to the Isle of Man after his surgery in England. I felt so alone and vulnerable in the accommodation  - all I really needed was someone to talk to face to face and maybe have a hug! I posted a few poems on a friends facebook page - mainly humerous poems . An on-line friend Jenny Brewer saw my poems and kept telling me to join here. It took about 3 weeks of her asking me if i had joined to pluck up the courage to finally post and 'Just Desserts'  was the first poem I posted here - it is based on a true experience! Since then my life has been a whirl.  In Jared Pickett's collaboration I teamed up with Darren Watson and we wrote together collaboratively as JaDazzle United.


I adore penguins - the animals not the biscuits!
Loveeeee tall men with greying hair
I love baking/cooking
I like to potter in the garden - need more time to commit to it but have an aged mother who needs me more than my garden does
Adore most types of music - will give anything a listen
Best ever gig - Knebworth 1986 when 'Queen' headlined

Jan, when you were in Florida did you get a chance to see the Muppet show at Hollywood Studios (formerly Disney/MGM Studios) at Disney World. Like the commercial a great show.

Jan, it is cute, but for me not hilarious. I think a few of the jokes are more for British and went over my head. haha. Anyway, it is interesting for me to see finally what crumpets are for you. to me, they appear to be muffins. Well, one type of muffin we have in the states looks very much like this crumpet!

I was stunned when i saw the commercial - it must have cost a fortune but BOY it was worth it I must have watched it at least a dozen times on the TV and when I found it on the web I had to share:-) hugs Jan xx
