This website is, to be honest, a piece of self-indulgence. As I write I am uncomfortably into my seventies with two children, two grandchildren and many friends and I have decided that I would like them to know a bit more about me before it's too late for me to tell them. 

​

I see my family often and have a busy social life but that just shows others who I am at a social and conversational level. Most of them know I paint, take photographs, write and sing and this website is for delving a little into the detail. 

​

When my mother died, my sister and I received a bag or two of family snaps and a few paintings she'd done over the years. Now, in the age of technology, I can file stories, photos, poems, essays, art work, photographs and songs in a manner that takes up no apparent space and, I assume, lasts for ever. My family, friends and acquaintances can see and read and listen to them at their leisure, if they wish to do so. 

​

So, to all those who know me, and to those who don't, this is a collection of work I have produced over the years and will, I hope, continue to be enjoyed, or at least commented upon, long after I have disappeared.
