About Me

South Wales, United Kingdom
Im forty something! Married, mum to two wonderful daughters, both very different, both very special. Im originally from Edinburgh but have spent almost 2/3rds of my life in South Wales now and so am probably as much Welsh (if not more) than Scottish. Until the age of 16 (when I left Edinburgh) I spent a lot of time with Great uncles and aunts in East and West Lothian,but also with family and friends in the centre of the city. So had an equal country and city upbringing. I would spend hours walking in the Pentland hills (with family, friends, alone), hours in the countryside, hours in the dress shops in town with my friends, trying on endless outfits I couldnt afford, hours dreaming that I would marry Paul Michael Glaser (Starsky!!) and definitely hours planning that once I had made it as an actress (which is why Paul would fall madly in love with me) I would learn to fly a plane, hopefully it would help with my developing fear of heights, star in a west end show, have a hit single and buy a ranch somewhere that Paul and I could hear the wolves howling in the distance. Then I had dreams! Read the rest of my story starting at Broken Dreams

First steps

After that really bad day, and a few long talks with a couple of friends, I started to admit that somethings really got to me, that I had let things other people did almost beat me into submission.  Probably as much my fault as anything, I let it happen, but I realised that I needed to get my confidence back but that I also need a scream moment! During one of those talks I confided this to an amazing friend who then booked me on a rally taster course.  She did it so I could get that scream moment! I was so blown away by the fact that someone would care so much for me that they would do something like that.  No one had ever really done anything like that for me, no one had understood enough.  She did though! 

At the time of writing, I havent yet done the course - but its not far away!

This same friend and I decided to enter the Race for Life! Something I would never have considered even a year ago! Maybe I will walk it and maybe I will run it but I will be taking part!


Oh but I had bigger plans than that!
