A Little of My Story
 
 
    I was born in Bristol, U.K. and lived there until I married Ray who is Welsh. We live in Wales and I feel lucky to have an allegiance both to England and Wales.
A rather sickly child, I grew up against all expectations to be quite a strong person who is inquisitive and who has a passion for orchids and poetry. I have a website devoted to orchids and if you would like to view it then please click on- orchids This is followed by a love of languages. I have studied French, Italian, Welsh and my own mother tongue English. I have a little understanding of several others as well. I love to communicate and think it important to be able to chat to people in their own language. I DO wish it possible to learn all the languages in the world!
    We have two lovely sons  Stephen and Robert and four wonderful grandsons - David, Geraint, Ieuan and Patrick. Unfortunately they all live some distance away owing to the location of our sons' employment.
    I trained and spent my life working as a registered nurse but was fortunate enough to be able to gain a degree in the History of Art which was wonderful and opened up many new horizons. I also have a great love of English literature.
