About me.

I’m me, Tamsin, oddly weird, weirdly odd, and quirky. Apparently these are things you shouldn’t say when asked to describe yourself in a job interview. Things like hard working, a team player, punctual are what they are looking for. Boring!

I am an older woman who remains youthful at heart. Scribblings, rantings and musings pepper this blog. Aged 6 I wanted to write stories, many decades later I still want to write stories. Sometimes the words are good to me, more often than not they refuse to be used.

I love it when the sun shines and the world glows. I love spinning at the top of the moors when all I can hear is the birds and the wind (preferably a gentle breeze not a gale). Errant thoughts often makes me smile. I also have a very cynical side, often warranted. 

I have ME/CFS (a systematic debilitating systemic lack of energy), diagnosed Autistic and self diagnosed ADHD, and considered decidedly quirky. As such my blog may indeed be quirky. I will post poems, prose, chat, ramblings, photographs, and knitting as and when I am able. That may mean lots in a small period or none for ages.
