I am Grandmother to five, all boys. I care for one of them (a Meat Loaf fan from 3 years who is now 4) four days a week. We care for three men with Learning Difficulties (65, 71 and 74) who have lived with me and my husband for 14 years.

I love reading and have over 3000 books - good job we have a huge old house! Anything non-fiction, animal stories, nature, UFO's, medical, biographies.

Also David Pelzer - I too was an abused child, and like David it was my mother who was the abuser.

Also love Derek Tangye. For those that don't know him, he started to write in the 50's or 60's and most of his books are known world-wide.

He was in MI5 and his wife was Publicity Officer for the Savoy group of hotels. They had enough of the high life and moved to Cornwall (a beautifull part of the UK surrounded on 3 sides by rocky cliffs and sandy beaches). They lived in a small (at first) desolate tumble down cottage on the edge of a cliff with NO running water, NO proper loo and NO phone, eaking out a living by growing potatoes and flowers. Beautifully written stories such as "Cat In The Window", "Gull On Th Roof", "Cottage On A Cliff" etc. I have most of his books and read them to David at night as he is dyslexic.

Have done some writing and had several articles published mostly in the local papers (nature).

We have 3 cats, a ferret who is definately brain-damaged, she is so mischeivous, called Blossum, 4 rats, and tropical fish. David and I are members of the Lancashire Badger group.

Also learning computing and going to college for Web Page Development next week.

Love music, aside from Meat I love Roy Orbison, (his son Roy Kelton stayed with us in 1990) and love a guy called Medwyn Goodall (New Age artist who is reclusive and writes his own music and plays around 14 instruments) - MAGIC! Like some Opera and love Andrea Bocelli and Chris de Burgh plus many other diverse artists.
