Welcome and thank you for surfing on in. I hope you enjoy your stay as I open up several aspects of my life with you.

I am a forty something year old lady, I have two grown up children who have fledged the nest, Christian (25) and Matthew (17).

I have been known to do some serious collecting of ephemora in my time. I have a real liking for monks in the form of china, pottery or prints/paintings. Why? I think it is the very correct exterior whilst I imagine them to be secretly very naughty! I collected motorbikes and sidecars for my shelves and many other unusual items! Sadly, I have lost all my collections now - but they once played a big part in my life once so deserve a place on here.

My musical tastes are wide and varied. My Dad even gave me a love of Welsh male voice choirs! Other loves are Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Louis Armstrong, the Chieftains, Gilbert and Sullivan, Dido, Gilbert O Sullivan, Billie Halliday, Ravi Shankar, Eric Clapton, BB King, John Lee Hooker..... you get the idea!

I was told I have Multiple Sclerosis in the early nineties, although I was diagnosed 15 years previously by the medical profession. Since my diagnosis, I have wanted to travel the world! Pictures of my travels in India, Nepal and Africa are here. I hope to add pictures of my recent work in Iraq and soon to to be Iran too following the devastating earthquake.


I travel extensively and when not in good old blighty (which is very rare these days) I can be found working for charities in third world orphanages and schools opening my eyes to the REAL world. The world where materialism is an unknown word, where a smile and a hug means more than a bank balance.

I have lost everything I own in the past two years - my home and all my possessions, being left with just a suitcase. Apart from my sons, one thing that has always remained constant throughout these dark times has been my friends. I thank them with all my heart for their love and support, who says you can't choose your family?

Thankyou's also have to go to Belinda who has built these pages for me. As telephones and cyber-cafes are a rarity in my locale, it has not been easy for me to contact her so she can assess my requirements!

I hope these pages give you an insight into my life, if you have read this far give yourself a pat on the back.
