: About Me

I am a single mum of two beautiful grown-up daughters. My oldest daughter is 28 and lives with her partner in their own home. My youngest daughter, who is 20, is in her second year at University.

I live in the UK (Wales) in a small flat with my dog and a tankful of tropical fish (who survive and breed without the use of any heaters).

I work part-time in my local community library and before that I ran a local Welsh-language playgroup for several years. I have advanced secretarial and language qualifications and am also qualified to teach under-5's through the medium of play. I am an active member of my community, having done youth work and voluntary work for many years.

I have a keen interest in all sorts of crafts and make jewellery using sterling silver and glass. I can also face-paint, which I often do at local fund-raising events, or outside the Millenium Stadium on International Rugby match days.

I have been practising yoga for more than 20 years which helps to keep me in shape and am a keen gardener, having created a wonderful wildlife garden from a scrubby plot when I moved into my home 9 years ago. I have used the British Adult Education system to learn all sorts of new skills and crafts and have been able to pass on some of these skills to others by running workshops and classes (mixed-media arts and crafts, potter, computers, etc.).

Your Facebook friends are not only able to see all of the comments that you post, but also, by accessing your Facebook Newsfeed or Wall, all comments made by your friends.  Your photos will also be available for viewing by these colleagues and so will thos...
