: About Me

I am 60ish, divorced and widowed with 3 marvellous sons. I started life in England with English parents and went to Canada when I was 2 and from there to Bermuda andUK, I now live in the Southwestof Ireland and Bermuda. I travel regularly to England and India where my sons live.

I have had two creative husbands, one an actor and the other an artist and so have lived through their talents and put mine on hold. It wasn't until I was widowed that I started to delve into my soul and discover how best I translated life. I have always loved writing letters and this was my clue that has led me to finishing a novel, a 6 part comedy drama, 2 children's stories, and several articles. My book hasn't been published and I am on the long and windy road to achieving that.

I am passionate about my sons and grandchildren and the few very close friends I have. I love throwing pots, it takes me out of my head and into a timeless zone of touch and rhythm. I suppose I love writing because of the fascinating people I meet, who arrive on the page. I have always loved books from an early age and still have all the 'Winnie the Pooh' books and a verydecrepithard back copy of 'Black Beauty'. Through membership of a reading group I have been forced into Henry James and other classic writers even though my taste is modern on the whole. I love William Boyd, Ian Mc Ewan, Mary Wesley and so on.. the list goes on and on and grows constantly.

I have had a wonderful, enlightening, difficult and passionate life and intend to continue, hopefully with a published book or two under my belt!

Relationships & Family > Tips for Marital Happiness Ways that dancing can improve your marriage

11 of 11

Good dancing is a romantic and sensual pleasure to watch and to participate in, it involves two people letting go of their individual need to control and flowing together in a rhythmic way. There is a dance for every mood and the feelings evoked by the music are shared without words or conflict. Every kind of interaction used by couples to communicate verbally with each other can be played out, dramatised, on the dance floor with full co-operation by both dancers. It is a wonderful way to reach an intuitive understanding of each other's body language. The movements that come easily to one ...
