My first posting!

This feels a bit weird, deciding to write about yourself on a computer, especially if your knowledge of computers is as limited as mine - ie. about dinosaur level!

I thought I had to give it a go, seeing as I've been spending hours looking at other peoples lives on blogs it only seemed fair to add mine. No doubt you'll see a fair few typing errors along the way, bear with me, I haven't been at work for a long time so I'm a bit rusty with new technology, I think I'm probably the only person without a mobile phone on the entire planet.

So.............I'm 36 (nearly 37 - how did that happen?), I've got two lovely children of 6 and 2 and a very patient and understanding partner of 11 years, Ian, who doesn't mind spending his life surrounded by others peoples cast offs, although he draws the line at "dead people's plates"- his words not mine.

I love fabrics, tins, plates, sewing, making, drilling, cooking, dancing with my children when no-one else is looking, walking in the countryside, shopping, eating and the odd glass of wine that we all deserve at the end of another long day. I have no ambitions to be rich, famous or powerful, basically because at heart I can't be bothered, I'd rather be folding fabrics and counting buttons!

Here's to the start of what I hope will be a happy blog...............
