My Little Book of Poetry

A selection of my poetry and short verse collected over the years; some happy some funny some soppy and sentimental some inspiring and uplifting and some just plain silly! A few are also written taken from the view of my disability; Multiple sclerosis. Born in Cheltenham in 1968 I moved to Bristol when I was three months old. After leaving home aged eighteen I had several different jobs and lived in various shared houses and flats. In 1987 I was an au-pair in New York for a year. I returned and bought my first house and worked as manager for a pizza franchise. I moved around never settling; travelling whilst writing bits and bobs. Since being diagnosed with MS in 1994 I have had various voluntary jobs mainly in charity shops - the closest thing to my love of working with the general public. I continue my love of travel and writing and combined the two when I wrote my first book in 2011 about my travels to Rhodes. Currently single I live in an accessible bungalow in Bristol.
