Hey all

Tell about myself mmmmmm

Lets see......

Former pom - lol am British born and now an Australian resident. I have lived in Queensland for 3 years. It is a new begining for me and am hoping to embrace life to the max again.

Have travelled most of my life, begining at 4 months old and have finally found a place I am happy to call home. It would make me a natural gypsy I guess.

I have 2 wonderful grown up children, both independent and happy. They are still in England and I miss them terribly. We do get together a couple of times a year thankfully and stay in touch all the time thanks to technology, so now I love the internet.

I have stumbled on to wiccan, paganism and new age religion by chance so believe that I am being shown a way to embrace this new life. I am open to any and all help, guidance and information I can get. I have not settled on any one thing but wiccan seems to be more in line with my thoughts and emotions.

Nature, the ocean, the heavens, do unto others and you would have done unto you, these are important things other than my family.

I look forward to using this site.

Take good care everyone

Many thanks to everyone, your greeting and welcome are amazing. I only started such a short time ago so did not expect anything for a while, especially as my time zone is different from the UK.

Take good care

We sure get some spectacular thunder storms here. I live close to a place called Mout Coo-tha and the lightening is amazing. Not to mention we sure need as much rain as we can get.

In england I can remember mmoaning 'oh no not more rain'

but here it is wonderful to see. The weather is warm and walking in the rain is very refreshing, not to mention great for your hair

Each wife had seven sacks, each sack had seven cats,

Each cat had seven kits: kits, cats, sacks and wives,

How many were going to St. Ives?

Cornwall home of St Ives

I love it there, one of my favourite places, have spent many happy hours in and around. There are some great thinking rocks in the area, great for meditating and putting the world to rights.

Oh yes, but unfortunately these days you'd have to fight with the seagulls to get a rock!!
