About Me


Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Perfect sunset

I want to stand with you on a mountain, i want to bathe with you in the sea... I want to lay like this forever...until the sky falls down on me .............Welcome to my page. Hope you enjoy this little escape from 'The real world'I have watched with love and pride as my 3 children have grown into loving and caring adults and teenagers.They make me laugh,we have a lot of good times together and an awful lot in common, they have inherited my warped sense of humour..poor things ;-)
www.postpalace.com2007 was one of the best years of my life as i watched their achievements unfold.Well done kids I love you and am so proud of you all xxxI came to Myspace hoping to meet some nice people, and i have not been disappointed. Most of the friends on my list have been on it for the 18 months or so i have been here. Each one have their own qualities and enrich my life in their own special way. All have a great sense of humour. We laugh a lot but are there for each other when times are tough and a shoulder is needed.Sending love to my friends and a welcome to strangers who are friends i haven't met yet! I hope 2008 brings you happiness........ I have found my happy place in life. I hope you are at yours too. If not, never give up on your hopes and dreams, they are there to be found. Don't look too hard, for you never know what is around that corner ;-) xx

CLICK HERE!I have hiked around our Lake district a lot over the last few years, Ullswater, Buttermere, Coniston etc Have climbed 'Coniston old man' one of the most famous of all the mountains in the Lake District and is situated in the south of the county. It is one of the highest peaks in the Lake District National Park, reaching a height of 2635 ft above sea level. This is the trig point at the summit of 'Old man' When i reached it, red faced and gasping, i was elated, the view was worth the effort!Have fallen in lots of streams and was once stuck waist high in a bog in The forest of Bowland, much to the joy of my kids, my clothes were literally steaming on the way home lol. The Lakes are my second home, and i spend as much time as i can there. Have spent many happy peaceful days reflecting on the past and enjoying the present, and starry nights dreaming about the future whilst camping in The Lake district!Love to be near lakes and mountains, orienteering in Grisedale and Whinlatter forest,and the forest of Dean with the children when they were younger, cycling, rock climbing and scrambling ( rocks not cycles lol ) So many happy memories of quality time spent with my children. Now they are grown and doing their own thing, my bones refuse to trek any further than a few miles, and my scenic views are mostly through a car window lol. But i still love, and am in awe of natures beauty all around me. This is Derwent water in the Lake district one of my favourite spots, i do my best thinking and planning at this beautiful place :-) Enjoy camping, have camped quite a lot in the Lake district, Wales, Scotland and Yorkshire Dales and go quite often on my own!! I like my own company, and we never argue :-) Have been to Scarborough lots of times visiting Robin Hoods bay,Whitby with the 199 steps and the Dracula museum and ghost trail, Scarborough castle and the resting place of Anne Bronte who loved Scarborough.We have visited some beautiful castles, Abbeys and monuments around England, Wales and Scotland........ This is Bolton abbey and the river Strid in Wharfedale, a place we visited many times together over the years. This is one of my favourite pics of Holy island in Northumberland ( Lindisfarne) The seal colony and puffins were a sight not be missed!! Staple Island is noted for its vast seabird colonies, especially those of the Auk family such as Guillemots, Razorbills and Puffins. There are about 35,000 pairs of Puffins nesting in the Farne islands. Also love Wales, I spent all my childhood summer holidays there, it was family tradition to buy and wear a black Welsh hat complete with white frill on every visit lol Every night i waited to hear 'The Red Dragon' Royal mail train, which passed the camp at midnight and shook the caravan :-) I learnt how to pronounce llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch lol.. which means...St. Mary's church, in the hollow of the white hazel, near a rapid whirlpool, and the church of St. Tysilio of the red caveI think over the years, i have seen most castles in Wales, lots of beautiful scenery, and waterfalls,Cobden's falls, Swallow falls, all beautiful. There are some beautiful churches and castles in Wales,This is the marble church i used to visit with my Mum and Dad when i was a child. As well as North Wales we enjoyed Barry island, New quay, Tenby, and one of my favourite beaches Abersoch.Love Scotland especially Mull, Iona with the beautiful Abbey, after we visited the Abbey we walked along the beach and was privileged to see a seal in the crystal clear sea. Beautiful Loch Lomond, Loch Maree..... We had a 10 mile cycle around here(i'd not cycled for about 40 yrs and had a sore bum after lol) what a beautiful place the Scottish highlands are in any weather. While i was there, i went to Tobermory (Ballymory to us kids lol) and met the crew from the kids programme! My claim to fame is having a pic taken with "Edie McCreedy" and Josie lolGlengorm castle and one of the best sunsets ever, on my holday in Scotland in 2001. The sunsets on mull are spectacular. I love to walk along a deserted beach, feel the warm, soft white sand between my toes.One of the nicest beaches i've ever seen is The Silver sands of Morar in Scotland, a deserted beach and the bluest sea, we could have been in the Caribbean it was so beautiful. We took the road from Arisaig north to Morar and this was one of the nicest trips we made in Scotland. We drove along roads with twists and turns and narrow single track stretches, on to rock-framed white beaches and stunning views across a turquoise sea towards the Small Isles of Eigg and Rum and further north to Skye.Now at 54 years young and with a family grown and happy, i would like a little time for myself.So many places to see and new people to meet. I can be a party animal but can do 'quiet' too. Love to get into deep discussions about 'the meaning of life' or take part in light hearted banter. I have a zest for life that bubbles to near boiling point inside of me. Where to start hmmm.....I hope to see more of this beautiful world,especially Switzerland, Norway, The rockies- Bannf/Jasper, Zakopane, Seychelles mmm. Would like to see The Northern lights 'Aurora Borealis' This is Thousand island lake reflecting Banner peak.Banner Peak is the second tallest peak in the Ritter Range of California's Sierra Nevada. The mountain is 12,936 feet (3,943 meters) tall and there are a few glaciers on its slopes.Also i would love to spend time in the Tatra mountains in Zakopane.Zakopane Poland's winter capital is situated at the foot of the Tatras, along the Slovak border. Although it may look insignificant on a map, this is the most awesome, inspiring landscape in all of Poland. Steep peaks towering 6.000 feet into the clouds, gushing waterfalls, snow-covered hills, completely placid lakes, and a wild animal population that includes bears, lynx and soaring golden eagles,all make up the amazing Tatra Mountains. My favourite holiday with my children was Zakynthos in Greece, a very special holiday for a very special reason x Smugglers cove..Paradise...Spent a whole day here..Shirley Valentine eat ya heart out lol The best part of the holiday as far as i was concerned was a boat trip, here are 'The blue grotto caves' fabulousMy favourite 'solo' holiday was to Mayrhoffen in Austria, beautiful clean fresh air,took the cable car to the tops every day and walked through the snow in red hot weather....wonderful sights and lovely people. Went to Krymyll waterfalls in Salzburg, breathtaking and spectacular. One of the day trips i went on was to the Dolomite's in Italy. Every season has its own beautiful qualities. Spring....a promise of things to come, new life, baby animals, nodding daffodils, delicate snowdrops, bright green shoots and crisp mornings. No matter what the season, i love to stroll along a cliff's edge, watching the waves crash and fall.The wild danger and the tranquil calm of a cruel but beautiful sea. Feel the invigorating spray on my face. Summer......The long hazy days, walking for miles following the rivers course. Lie down and feel the sun on my face, the drone of a bee in the distance. Listen to the trickle or torrent of a nearby stream or waterfall Autumn......Kick my way through the crunchy autumn leaves. The russets, yellows and reds set against the blue sky. Hear them crackle beneath my feet. Watching squirrels scamper up a tree with their stash of food. Winter...Pale watery sunshine and an eerie mist over water in the day. Cosy nights by the fire, Christmas with the ones we love, parties and famly time. Be the first to tread in freshly fallen 'virgin' snow, especially at night with the shimmering moonlight twinkling on crystalised snow. Every footstep crunching and leaving a trail in previously unmarked territory.Walk in the pouring rain, feel the cool water trickle down my face. Splash through deep puddles .......kiss in the rain ;-) A true romantic, mushy, and love 'Happy ever afters' I firmly believe 'There is a soulmate for everyone' :-) Would love to try skydiving eeek, whizz around the racetrack with Jeremy Clarkson--me driving of course !! lol aaagghhh Hot air balloon ride with the man of my dreams, a bottle of bubbly, strawberries and cream, Belgian chocolates, blue sky and fluffy white clouds.... mmm oops i'm off again, to dreamland and beyond lol XXI love giving and receiving soppy cards, poems and flowers, any way to tell someone an extra 'i care for you'... although the people i love and care about already know that with knobs on :-)Make me laugh and you win my heart, lose my trust and you lose me. Am a girly girl with simple tastes, Peeps keep telling me to grow up and act my age...nooooo Why should i ? Far too scarey---you grow up, then you grow old, then you pop your clogs!! No thanks, i've only just begun..i've got a lot of time to make up and i intend to enjoy every waking minute!! Love to have a drink and a girlie night out with my friends, it doesn't happen often these days, but when we do go out i like to partake in a few wines and vodkas, a mad dance to let my hair down, A bit of gossip, the usual kebab on the way home lmao...girls just wanna have fun... " The best thing about being a woman..is the prerogative to have a little fun"! ;-)

My Interests

.. ..glitter-graphics.comTime flies by, one day you are 17 young, vibrant and full of anticipation, your whole life ahead of you, wonderful dreams..the world is your oyster.... Then you blink, turn around and you find yourself 55,but still 17 inside. Where did all the years go, and what did you achieve? One thing i never dreamt of was being a mum to 3 fabulous children and having the best family and friends. Life's journey so far has been fun, eventful,sometimes very hard, and an emotional up hill struggle...but always something new to learn. I am a great believer in fate...what will be will be...everything happens for a reason, and it has been true in my life, whenever there has been heartache it has been followed (maybe many years later) with something richer and more fulfilling.Now here i am at a place i always wanted to be,happy, content and having lots of laughs. Where did the years go? Where will it take me now,and .....WHO WITH?.............I'm on a new path in life and enjoying the stroll and the scenery. Time is precious, never waste it..squeeze every wonderful minute out of every day.Live ..love..but most of all be happy xxI loved the 60s, and the 70s..my favourite, was a very special time in my life. The music, the fashion, Flower power..Scott Mackenzies 'San Francisco' brings back all those memories to me.Micro,Mini, Midi,Maxi lengths i wore them all.

Astrology, tarot cards and crystals, people analysis (let me into your head he he) Supernatural, Paranormal, and things that go bump in the night Oooooh lolI would love to be able to paint a landscape, a waterfall etc but it would seem i am better at painting walls and window frames lol Interior design (walls were made to be knocked down and have been in my house lol)-if in doubt knock it down, it's only bricks and mortar- unless the roof falls in and then tiles are involved lol /a

I am an open book, i wear my heart on my sleeve, i don't play games....well not mind games anyway :-O never take people for granted, and once i find a good friend, they are usually there for the duration :-) It has taken me a lifetime to produce this present state you see before you ........Love me or hate me this is it--the final draft xx How would i like to be remembered?

Tells the story of Philip, prior of Kingsbridge, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known . . . of Tom, the mason who becomes his architect - a man divided in his soul . . . of the beautiful, elusive Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame . . . and of a struggle between good and evil that will turn church against state, and brother against brother. Lord of the rings, Harry Potter, The Hobbit, most books by Phillip PullmanI love the works of the Bronte sisters and have visited The Parsonage in Haworth Yorkshire where they were born. The Brontës were the world's most famous literary family and Haworth Parsonage, now the Brontë Parsonage Museum, was their home from 1820 to 1861.Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë were the authors of some of the best-loved books in the English language. Charlotte's novel Jane Eyre (1847) Emily's Wuthering Heights (1847) and Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848) were written in this house over a hundred and fifty years ago, yet their power still moves readers today.
