I have kept a daily diary since I was 7 years old, and have every volume boxed up in the bottom of my wardrobe. This is my first tentative foray into the world of blogging, and I am hoping that it will be an extension of my diary writing – a way to round up the best bits of my life, with the addition of some photos – and as such, it is written purely for my own benefit. If you happen to have stumbled across it however, then welcome. I hope you find it mildly diverting!

If you are interested, then I am a fifty-something single mum of three grown up children, struggling to cope with empty nest syndrome and struggling to live as ‘normal’ a life as possible with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I LOVE walking – especially when there is a drink stop/pub lunch/tea room visit involved! – and I am working on slowly building up to pre CFS distances, without bringing about a crash. Other than that I am pretty sedentary and enjoy reading, baking, knitting and crochet.
