So what has my life been about.

Rich, colourful and filled with happy and sad memories.

Rich in family moments, with three children who have now 'flown the coup' so to speak and as adults are making a life for themselves. With two married daughters, two son in laws, and 2 3/4 grandchildren, life is fun and never boring. Playing, bathing and reading that infinite book that never ends - it is so much fun the second time round. Not to forget the son, who arrives with special practical gifts so unexpectedly flying in and out so quickly, it is hard to grab a moment of time.

Then there is my husband - a soul mate through and through, so different from many the norm including myself, but the best tlc giver of them all.

As to my work, it is wonderful to see young eager adolescents arrive, go through the ires of mid- giggly and turbulent times and leave mature young women of the future. Who would miss that?

And so life goes on....
