You may have noticed my foray into poetry. I love poems. As a young person I enjoyed my poems performed through the choice of artists on my iPod. As an adult, I've mostly not stopped to think let alone explore poetry. Now I've slowed down a bit, it's something that is all coming back to… Continue reading Learning happens at any age.

If anyone wants to judge people on the breadline, just take a look at Fife's finest cell block flats; the road names have pretty places but the leaking buildings tell the truth. I grew up in such a middle class lifestyle yet I feel more at home… Continue reading The price some people pay
I am a strong woman. In spite of the turmoil I have been through and am currently going under, I am still here. I keep going because life goes on.
