Introducing myself

I am a virgin blogger and not sure if I am doing this right. I have just typed a whole lot of blurb in drafts and lost it… I think. So here is my second attempt. Let me introduce myself…I am 71… pink-haired… but grey at the moment got the sun has drawn the pink out. Will re-pink later this week.

Been married a long time (47 years)… have a lovely husband and 3 sons…a lovely daughter in law and an 11-year grandson.

I have always loved words and have kept a daily journal since 1988. Love any kind of writing paper, notelets, postcards… that kind of stuff. My favourite shops are Paperchase/Works, shops like that. Got involved in the Pen pal world moving onto Facebook and this is my latest venture into the technology world. I hope I can manage.

I have been retired approx. 8 years and doing voluntary charity shop work in Cancer Research and an Oxfam Bookshop as along with words I, of course, love reading and as we moved many times in early marriage… hubby was a farm worker I always felt at home once I joined a public library… I still have a library ticket.

I became a Health Care Assistant on an elderly care ward at our local hospital in 1998 and achieved NVQ 3 in care which I could have gone to university to train but chose not to.

I hope to tell you all about my life if future blogs which I will try to do daily. Going to see if this works. Bye for now
