Bio
I am originally from the UK. Now living in New Zealand. My life so far has been a rollercoaster. I have children with special needs, lost my previous husband in 2008 and in 2021 my son Andrew died. Writing has and is cathartic for me!

Growing Old!
What is it about growing old that suddenly makes you invisible in society? It's something I have been asking myself lately, probably because I am getting old but also because of what I see and hear in the real world day after day in western culture! In some parts of the world being old is something to be celebrated, there is respect from the younger generation. Families come together to support their elderly relatives! Why such different attitudes I ask myself?

A day out at Southward Car Museum!
I have always loved classic cars from as far back as I can remember. This I put down to my father's love of them, and of being taken to many car museums in the UK. The thrill of knowing that I would be going as a child was like being offered an ice cream or a bar of chocolate, and as we know most children have a sweet tooth! My mother was not a big fan so often just the two of us went, and of course, it gave me quality time with my dad as he worked long hours. Those memories have lived on long after he died in 1983!

Day in the life of a Plus-Size Sales Stylist
I work for Taking Shape as a Sales Stylist and I must admit I have learnt a lot about body confidence, and also the best ways to style women to show off their amazing curves. Being plus-size myself I have always had issues with confidence, of being able to make the most of myself through my choice of clothes alongside how to wear them to accentuate my body to its best advantage. Above all I have learnt so much about other women and of how some excude confidence whilst others need more reassurance.

My Holiday in New Plymouth New Zealand
We all love going on holidays and I am certainly no exception. My husband Jonathan works hard in his job and I have RA, Fibromyalgia and OA so a break is certainly needed. I have lived in New Zealand for 10 years but there is so much of this beautiful country that I have not had the privilege of seeing.
