    • About Me

      I am 56 year old living with dyspraxia. I have never conformed to what you should do in life! I am selling my house and buying a boat to live on. I have a daughter (23) currently studying law who I am very poud of and very close to. I have a new partner who is lovely and can cope with my idiosyncrasies - is that the word I am looking for? One of the most rewarding thing I have ever done is 4 years work supporting victims of crime. I think you should reinvent your self every year and live if each day is your last. - "and above all remember who to love and forget who to hate"

      Science..I love astronomy, I was fortunate to study a year of theoretical Astronomy at Uni and it blew me away! I get passionate about social things to help those who need a bit of support. I love canals and narrowboats, which is why I am going to live on one very very soon. There is nothing better than feeling more peaceful on the canal with the wildlife and the quietness. I read a lot..at the moment it is crime fiction.
