Biography

I have been writing lighthearted, humourous poems for about a year now. My first one, Litterbug, came to me after picking up litter while on a dog walk and since then I have been inspired by random everyday incidents - several about getting older as I am now a lady of a certain age. I live in Hertfordshire with my husband and Charly, the golden retriever (who also appears in several of my poems). We have 3 grown up children and 2 granddaughters. I never cease to count my blessings. I recently started a blog and posting my poems on instagram as I couldn't think what else to do with them. I hope you enjoy them.
