Bio
I have lived with Type 1 Diabetes since 1974.
After a near death experience with dangerously low blood glucose in about 1983, I decided that life was for living, not just enduring.
I write stories of my trips to share the joy of travel.

Marathon des Sables
Prologue 1974 It was August 1974 and my mother, two younger brothers and I had been living in The Basin since before winter had started. This was the first house my mother had found to rent since we had needed to move away from the family home. My parents had split and, being the 70’s, my newly single mother was finding it difficult finding a landlord who would trust her to pay the rent. Today we think back to the 70’s with a warm, cosy feeling of nostalgia for a world more innocent and burnt orange kitchens. But for a single woman with young children, it was and could be a tough place.
