About me

Gender Female
Location Bath, United Kingdom
Introduction My voyage of discovery, my journey, my progress through life, from a chequered and illness beset past to a hopeful and illuminating future. Twenty-one years of waiting for good health to return and trying to have a life anyway - now the end is in sight and I step forth into a new life, which can be anything I create for myself. So here goes. Current assets are a lovely husband, Steve, two sons and two step-daughters, who all make me proud in their own way. Plus, I am discovering my talents - very useful when trying to design a life - so am hoping to start a degree this September in Fine Art and Creative Writing. Wish me luck on my snail-paced roller-coaster!
