Who I Am

I am a priest in the Scottish Episcopal Church, a wife to Hubby Paul and mother see below.  

I have two friends who I once gave birth to and of whom I am immensely proud of.  Son remains at home, my mother takes great pleasure in reminding me that he still isn’t as old as my brother was when he moved out.  Daughter lives and works in Glasgow and when possible the two of us disappear off down to London to catch a musical.

I love to cook, to drive my ‘Baby’ (a Mazda MX5) searching out castles (ruined ones are usually the best), ecclesiastical buildings, quiet coastal spots and just for the fun of it.

I am constantly seeing things make me wish I could paint or draw but I can’t, that is my excuse for usually have a camera somewhere close by.  With it I try to capture those images which make me smile, laugh, sigh or feel elated, happy or wistful.

I love – angels, cooking, champagne, footwear and handbags (well I am female) and listening to music just about any kind.  I am also a big fan of old films, Doris Day, Audrey Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart being my firm favorites. 

I don’t like spiders (unless they are the four wheeled variety); offal (although I will cook it for others); 4×4’s unless you live on a farm, up a mountain, or somewhere that has constant lying snow for at least two months of the year you don’tneed one – those American half truck/half 4×4 things are just as bad; excess packaging (why should I have to pay for that and pretty soon have to pay to get it taken away when I never wanted it in the first place!)
