I attended Blackamoor Open Air school as a child. I felt my education was incomplete and took a college course in later life where I gained a GCE grade A in English lit and language. I then took an NVQ course in creative writing.
I am a member of various writing groups including The Lancashire Authors based in Chorley and Blackpool writers. I am a widow and have three grown up children and two grandsons. I love writing, reading, antiques, animals, the countryside, travel and listening and talking to interesting people.

Thats very hard to figure out.

Do not cry for me, my love
For I am truly blessed
I sleep in fields of green and gold
My soul is now at rest
...
I get up each morning to face a new day
People will ask 'Are you doing okay'?
I smile and reply 'I am doing just fine'
But you and I know I'm just spinning a line
...
With hair the colour of Lancashire coal
And eyes as black as the Devils soul
Pyewackety roamed the Pendle hills
Dispensing herbs to cure all ills
