I live in the west of Ireland with my husband and three sons having returned from the USA fourteen years ago. I enjoy writing in many forms, prose, drama, poetry and short pieces for radio. I am in the process of compiling a book of reflective pieces that will span an entire year.

Gardening, cooking, reading, walking, swimming, playing sax, sitting by the wood stove dreaming, walking in the bog with my Beagle, Lenny and Jack Russell Terrier, Missy
