My Page Billboard

Hello out there, I have been married for 20 years, recently separated, no children- by choice- my father was a British nuclear test veteran, so as I have not been blessed with good health. I'm having great fun battling with ME and breast cancer and hopefully helping others to cope as well. The out come of not being blessed with good health has been a road with depression. But, in an attempt to deal with it I am an active member of my local MIND.

Not having children means I have the time and space in my life for 2 wonderful dogs, a crazy cat, 2 little tortoises- for whom I take a great deal of stick, and some indoor and outdoor fish.

I'm a veggie who ha quite strong beliefs about animal & human rights. I was a special needs teacher, something I'd love to continue with, but probably not in a school again.
