: About Me

Hello from me. I am a woman in my 40`s and live in Liverpool, UK. I have a partner and three children, a boy, 16 and twin girls aged 7. I am a trained nurse but due to the serious health problems of one of my children, I am presently a full-time mum. To keep my brain active though, I am working on a second degree with the open university and have a variety of interests.

I enjoy writing and belong to a small creative writing group. I also love computers, especially digital imaging - mainly photoshop. I like reading - a wide variety of stuff, music, films, theatre, and gardening. I have recently got myself an allotment to try to grow my own produce.
Recently, I have started training to be a reflexologist and have begun a basic counselling course.

But the main part of my life is my family. I love doing stuff with my kids, and especially love holidays and weekends away.

A lover's bed A winding road A player's turf Anywhere but here Today I laughed without mirth And bought you wine and beer I laid on the floor and cried Wore a new dress Started a diet Pretence is my only defence Against lo...
