About Me

A Yorkshire lass born and bred... been in the same town all my life, in fact i've been in the same villaige all my life, well apart from the two years when i was a teenager and i lived and worked at the coast but the less said about my miss spent youth the better.
I'm a single mum with two son's, One that's now left home and is making his own way in the world and another that's still home with me and currently working his way through high school.
Then of course there's my canine pals Dudley and Cleo...Dudley (aka Dud's) is a liver spotted Dalmatian and was 18 months old when he came to us from the rescue centre back in Nov 2005... Cleo (aka Madam) is a Yorkshire Terrier and was 7 months old when i rescued her from the neglect of her previous owners back in Jan 2003.

My Interests

Blogging - Been blogging .. for a few years now and i love it, being able to write and share what's going on in my life has helped me with so many things and made me lots of great new friends. - Jan's Place!

Photography - I've always loved taking pictures but this last few years i've developed an interest in nature photography, if it's outdoors and created naturally then i'll take photo's of it...particularly the sky!- Photography

Genealogy - Tracing my family tree became a passion of mine in 2003 when i finally met a distant relative of mine who lives in Australia. - Genealogy

Poetry - I've done a bit of writing in the past but nothing to really write home about, then i got my first dialect poem published .. and it all took off from there. - Penmanship

My first atempt at writing...so bare with me!...lol - Penmanship

Web design - Just love creating new pages/sites. I enjoy the building, creating the layout, adding the content, choosing the colour scheme and i always end up learning sommat new.

Tapestry - Cross stitch, mainly native american or animal designs, don't have time for this hobby much now though.

I'd like to meet:

All my ancestors!...it would make tracing my family tree so much easier...lol
