I was born in a little village called Prestolee. At the age of three, I made such a fuss of wanting to go to school with my older sister that they actually let me go. My parents were both cotton workers in the local cotton mill called Irwell Bank due to it being in the vicinity of the River Irwell. The village has a church called Holy Trinity, where I would go each Sunday along with Sunday school. We did go at various times to church from the School too. My school was called the Do as you like school because our headmaster was a man with a vision to teach children by giving them some fun in their lives. I have had numerous jobs in my life from being in a typing pool to working as Secretary to the Chief Aircraft Engineer and his Deputy in Llanbedr. Aerodrome, Then the pottery in Penrhynduedraeth until that closed. My next job was working in a bakery the Tudors where a lovely family and I enjoyed working for them until I had to retire because I got the dratted M.E. I was bedridden for a while and could hardly walk six steps until each day with help I walked a little further each day. Now on good days I can walk miles but don't or I would be back in bed, so I pace myself and get on quite well. I did a course at Bangor University for Poetry and writing, although I did not get a certificate. I have my certificate for Reiki 1 and carious ones through doing live-in care for the elderly and the sick. I have quite a few pass times I write poetry as well as books, make double sided flower baskets, you turn the basket around you have another display without having to buy another basket. Make cards, paint in oils, acrylics, do fabric painting, I also do Spirit paintings and paint in coffee, read.
