About Me
I am a widowed Grandma living in the UK *CountryGB*. I have one Daughter, Lucy, who died of cancer in 2013. I also have two lovely Grandchildren, Jessica and Kieran and have written several poems for and about them. Music plays a big part in my life. I have taken part in performances of "The Messiah", Faure's "Requiem", "The Crucifixion" and "Olivet To Calvary". I have been writing poetry since I was ten. Having Synaesthesia helps my sense of imagery.
