My parents were both cotton workers in the local cotton mill called Irwell Bank due to it being in the vicinity of the River Irwell. The village has a church called Holy Trinity, where I would go each Sunday along with Sunday school. We did go at various times to church from the school too. My school was called the do-as-you-like school because our headmaster was a man with a vision to teach children by giving them some fun in their lives.
I have had numerous jobs in my life, from being in a typing pool to working as secretary to the chief aircraft engineer and his deputy in Llanbedr Aerodrome then to the pottery in Penrhynduedraeth until that closed. My next job was working in a bakery. The Tudors were a lovely family, and I enjoyed working for them until I had to retire because I got the dratted ME. I was bedridden for a while and could hardly walk six steps each day and, with help, until I walked a little further. Now on good days I can walk miles, but I don’t, or I would be back in bed, so I pace myself and get on quite well.
I did a course at Bangor University for poetry and writing, although I did not get a certificate. I have my certificate for Reiki 1 and various ones through doing live-in care for the elderly and the sick.
I have quite a few pastimes. I write poetry and books and make double-sided flower baskets—you turn the basket around, and you have another display without having to buy another basket. I make cards, paint in oils and acrylics, and do fabric painting. I also do spirit paintings and paint in coffee, and I read.view less
