| Location | western isles, United Kingdom |
| Introduction | I have a chronic pain condition called Fibromyalgia which meant early retirement, and a move to the Outer Hebrides. I enjoy reading the sort of long and detailed books that I did not have time for whilst working fulltime. I have managed to give up 2 longterm addictions since moving here; I no longer obsessively watch tv soap operas, or buy loads of women's magazines. Now I just need to stop eating too much chocolate. |
