A new beginning

So much has happened since I last blogged that it's not even worth trying to recall all of it here. I've survived some lows and enjoyed some highs since 2009, and have come out of it stronger than I could have wished. This blog is about the person I am now - happier, more confident and more enthusiastic about life than ever before - and while I acknowledge the role past events has played, I am focusing on the future. "Look back but don't stare" is wise advice.

I'm living in the Devon village of Halwill Junction in a house that my boyfriend Ross Drowne and I bought in November. We have two guinea pigs (Brian and Stewie) and a four-month-old kitten, Barney. On March 5 I started back at the North Devon Journal as sub-editor and am loving every minute. This blog is my creative outlet, it will have no structure as such, I'm just going to post regularly any bits of news, short stories, poetry etc. that come to mind. I hope you enjoy it.
