About Me

My photo
Vancouver, Canada
Originally from a small seaside town in the North of England, I lived and worked in France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and the Maldive Islands before moving to Canada in 1995 - where I intended to stay 'just a couple of years'. Well, I'm still here. I live with my fabulous (Canadian) husband, Lorne, in Vancouver's Westside, close to beaches & downtown. We opted for kitties over kids and are proud parents to 3 wonderful rescues; Mel & Louis, who we adopted in 2010, and little miss Ella, who joined us in 2013. I miss my family in the UK but luckily my sister and best friend, Victoria, lives just down the street with her family. I remain very European at heart and would love to move back there, even for a while. Hopefully I'll convince Lorne & the kitties one day. Besides, I'm fluent in French & German but rarely get chance to use either here. Outside of work I love photography, writing, making cards, working out, camping, kayaking, horse riding & most things really. I've always been an animal lover, support several animal protection organizations and haven't eaten meat in 27 years.
Words To Live By:
We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words. Anna Seawell (Author of Black Beauty)

Oh where oh where did my blog-writing go...??????

How did it happen that more than 4 months have sailed right on by without me even so much as adding one tiny scribble....not one meagre jot..... to this blog? And yet, each time I read Vicky's blog, I'm in total awe and feel a renewed rush of inspiration to get back to my own writing.......which nonetheless fails to materialize. I know my job eats up most of my time and mental energy....but surely that's just wrong and I seriously need to save enough for myself at the end of the day.

So while I don't have time to do a 4-month catch-up right now (yeah, yeah....bla...bla...blaaaaa), I do intend to get back into it and promise to blather on about life's little idiosyncracies in the near future.....perhaps when I'm back from my pending trip to England....which will also include 5 days to my long lost favourite place, Bordeaux (as long as those over-zealous striking frenchies don't steamroll my plans.)

Watch this space........
