Introductions

Hello the world of the blog! I have, I confess, dipped my toe before but will not be sharing where these early ventures lie, like sleeping dogs they are best left well alone!!

So, what can you expect from me? Who is me?

In general I am happy and positive but also prone to rants when the stupid people get too much, very sweary (you have been warned!) A patriot, lover of our amazing country(especially my home town!) admirer of beautiful things (although often it is only me that thinks so!), bargain finder, shop local advocate, friend, occasional random chuckler, sometimes over user of exclamation marks!! often disabled by my own disorganisation in all areas of my life, admirer of the small things that make the world a wonderful place, confident that the world and its people are generally good, I like to laugh and to eat good food, mum to the tall boys and long suffering wife to an equally long suffering husband who is my very bestest friend in the whole wide world, the rest I am sure you will find out along the way if you hitch your wagon to this particular horse.

NB I recently 'came out' as being bonkers! not in a zany 'hey aren't I great bonkers isn't it such fun!' but in 'Hey I have mental health issues which I am sick of pretending I don't have' kinda way...hey come back...what are you running for?!!
One of the things i have decided to do is start campaigning for (although currently from just this blog and in person as an outed mental case) the acceptance of the mildly mental, those of us who live with lower level mental illness's, not the raving wandering around in my underwear (ie monday morning) kind of mental or the quick lock them up clearly insane mental but the I have bad days and good and today you can all fuck off mental.

My posts will be varied, sometimes helpful, long, short, hopefully amusing, possibly informative and generally what pops into my head at any given time. Be that relevant to world or local events, things from my past or spurred on by a conversation or article.

All opinions are my own, no intention to offend, if you do not agree with me I am open to attempts of persuasion to change my mind however please do not be offended if we continue to disagree! The differences between people are what make us all so great :-)

PS Although this Blog has been in the sidelines for a while I have recently been actively encouraged to publish so if the world at large is not ready I blame those people!! (you know who you are!!)
