    • Interests

      I love being by the sea, sitting on the rocks as the tide comes in and washes over me. I have an afinity with the sea, and don't get there often enough, no one to take me. Love animals and wouldn't be without my little man. Was heavily involved with speedway for 27 years and consider them the best years of my life. I at least achieved then. . I do like writing prose, which is just my thoughts at the time, and know that others can relate to them too. I like reading and photography.

    • Open Sexual Abuse

      Sexually abused by brother in childhood, and husband in later life. Just seemed to keep the pattern going.

    • Open Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Partner/Spouse

      I have been through, in 18 months, albeit 15 years ago, the bereavement of 4 people close to me including my husband. I had no time to grieve for any of them, was trying to run a business and look after my husband who was ill for 18 months. I have written prose about my losses, but can't come to doing one for my husband yet, and like I said he passed 15 years ago. I think I am still in denial to an extent.
