I have many interests, these include reading/writing poetry, reading autobiographies. I have read Mother Theressa's, Princess Diana's, Cher, One called 'A Child Called It' (the most popular ones anyway), and Tina Turner. I love to swim and try to swim about a mile a day. I love painting with water colours (as you will see from my site here) and I give most of my paintings/pictures away either as presents or because someone likes it/them. I like to sculpt with clay and I do admire past sculptor's works. Other pastimes I like are walking in the country, visiting places of interest (historical places, gardens/parks, places with monuments etc). I do like to go to the theatre occasionally.
One of the ways I like to spend my time is gardening (growing my own vegetables, flowers); click HERE to go to see pictures of my back garden. (I laid the patio by the way and did the stepping stones). I am a non-smoker and I do not drink alcohol either. Below are photographs of me (past and present). I am a 'mad' Osmond fan, in case you hadn't already guessed from this site- LOL.
I have done training courses in Pastoral Counselling, Co-Counselling, and Alternatives to Violence Projects (Dispute resolution) and a Degree in Applied Social Studies. Most of the jobs I have held in more recent years, have been in the 'caring' profession/s. When I was a teenager, I worked with Downs Syndrome children and adults with learning difficulties. I enjoy working with people and trying to get them to make the most of their lives. My last job was as an Advocate and was with adults who have 'learning difficulties' and I loved it. It was very emotionally demanding but I enjoyed it very much. I come from a Secretarial background, which makes typing quicker for me!! |
