I am a retired English language teacher. I'm married with three adult children. We live in two 19th century cottages clinging to a wet welsh hillside. I have been painting and writing seriously for the last ten years. My husband Simon has published eight books of poetry including a translation of a Russian children's folk tale and book of vey funny limericks.
Our jobs as English as a foreign language teachers have taken us a far as Spain, France,Tunis, Kuwait and Istanbul where we have lived and worked and absorbed the local culture.
Painting has taken over my life and I paint anything and everything. I'm essentially a colourist. Recently I decided to publish some of my short stories in serial form in my blog. They are all copyrighted and have appeared on other web sites and in a couple of magazines. For those of you you who have time to read them I hope they amuse you.
