Bio
I write...I suppose, because I always have. Once a journalist, then a PR writer, for the first time I am dabbling in the creative. Now at semi-retirement I am still deciding what might be next.

Domestic
Some families are sedate and harmonious and others are more discordant. We were a passionately argumentative lot. Looking back it would be easy to focus on the quarrels - but underneath it all, something I understood less as a child than I do now, there was an abiding love underlining all the squalls in our family voyages.

Sometimes it is the little things you notice when you are out there in the hustle and bustle of life that are the most memorable. They can pierce through the drear of everyday life - often that feeling that you are just enduring everyday life - and surprise you with an unexpected sense of joy and happiness.

Remembering those you loveTop Story - August 2021
These two poems memorialise two much loved family members, my grandmother - nonna - who lived an amazing and long life. Leaving Italy to arrive in Australia in the 1920s, she was one of 13 children. Surviving the privations of WWI and then separation from family she and her husband created a world of friends, family, and success in a new country. She was brave, kind, community-focused and incredibly hardworking and astute well into her 90s.
