Lets start by  stealing part of the title of Stephen Hawkins book, that everyone bought  but no one read, bit like what this blog might be like.
"A Brief History of Me"
Well  from my first gasping breath to my current excited, happy breath, I  take while writing this, its been a long an bumpy ride. From the birth  in 1955 in East London to now living in Great Yarmouth, I have been  homeless (yes on the streets), to finding lost brothers, losing some of  my children (as in not dead, as in taken away), getting married,  becoming widowed, full time carer to my mum for years, being alone for  years, breast cancer, finding a man, falling in love and finding my feet  with him at 53.
All the above is not all in  the right order, and it was a rather long sentence. This hopefully will  give you an overview of my life. Yes not posh, yes not rich, yes seen  the UK from the pavement. I hope to provide incite in this for a start.
Well  that's my starting post, got lots more to say on all different subjects  if and only if you lot are interested. I have spent to may years  'flogging a dead horse' so please give me support to let me find the  energy to carry on.
