Well I am truly back in the UK, wish I was back in Baltimore where the weather so much better and the way of life so relaxed. Living on the water is so very inspirational, fired my writing very much. I will later today be posting the first Baltimore Poem from the 30 I wrote whist there.......I hope you like it. Yesterday I spent the day with my wonderful 19 month old grandson Tommy, we went to the beach, paddled our toes, he went on baby rides and generally we just had real fun, he may of missed me for the time I was away but we sure made up for it yesterday, he is brilliant. My daughter and I were able to talk a little she still does not understand that I need to have a life of my own now, and that at 27 almost she has her own life, son and man, she needs to cut me loose.
Last night my bestest friend took me out for a belated birthday dinner, I ate mussels, and there must of been a bad one as I had a really bad night and today have suffered raging temperature and have been drinking copious amounts of water, the slippery little monsters, I think I will give them up from now on.
About Me
- Jean Isherwood-Farley
- Wool. Nr Wareham, Dorset, United Kingdom
- I am 58 years young. I have a daughter of 28 and a beautiful grandson Tommy, just 3 years old. I am a Jill of all trades and mistress of none: much of my life has been involved with children one way or another, from nursery class, being a nanny, and running fun days for kids in deprived areas, to teaching and leading Sunday School – in all I just love kids. It worries me that many parents do not have time in this busy world to sit and read with their children and that in turn prevents good healthy dialogue on issue’s that come about in all walks of life. I have always had a great love of books and reading, right across the spectrum, from Tolkien to Pratchett, with so many in between. I have always wanted to write a book for children, and now am fortunate to be able to do so. Children bring out the very best and sometimes the very worst of us, and in turn we should be attempting to provide the very best for them, allowing them access to a very safe world to allow their minds to roam free, and to challenge their ideas, getting them to look at different ways to approach things.
