| Introduction | Pure Gravy is a line taken from the poem Gravy by Raymond Carver. It's about the gravy of life, just living with it's ups and downs is gravy. I've created this blog as a place for me to reflect on my gravy in my own life. I am from Canada, but have lived in the UK over 10 years. Married, no children. Three cats and a dog. Poetry is the backbone of my life, but I am interested in most everything. Nature is very important to me. I am also an archaeology student and appreciate history and historical places- old churches, museums, etc. Nutrition and fitness interests me, as does understanding the conscious and unconscious mind. There, that's enough for now. |
