First post

This is my first atempt at a post on my new blog. I feel that I am about to enter a new era in my life, and I am trying to feel positive about both becoming 60, and having to accept that I have a long term illness and that I am unlikely to suddenly be cured. I will start a course in Art in September, 42 years after becoming an Art Student in Hornsey College of Art in 1968. Since then my life has taken me in many different directions, some much stranger than others, and I am really lucky to have another chance to do something creative with my time.

I have been married twice, have 3 adult children, and have gradually moved further north; the last time from a small town in Yorkshire to the Western Isles of Scotland. I now live in a converted croft house with 2nd husband[who is 14 years younger than me] and 2 rather delinquent dogs.
