I am very happily married to my childhood sweetheart, Martin for 32years and have 2 children, David and Ruth. David is married to Susan and had their 1st anniversary in August. They live about 6 miles away, so see them quite often. Ruth went to Dundee university and qualified as a primary school teacher. She has since got a permanent job and loving teaching primary 7 children. Unfortunately I don't get to see her until holiday times.
I used to work in a library going round schools on the van exchanging their reading books. I loved this job, but I need an operation which didn't go as planned resulting in me ending up in intensive care. This was 9 years ago, but I haven't been able to work since as I am left in constant pain which the pain clinics have tried to manage with an implant and morphine to only a slight degree of relief. Martin gave up his work to look after me and it resulted in him setting up a crafts business working from home. This has been growing with the addition of a website which helps keep me busy!!
Our website is www.hillsidecrafts.co.uk
My card making and my christian faith along with good friends has helped keep me sane!
