I have always felt that i have had a very eventful life so far, I love life and value every single day.

Friends have tried to talk me into putting my stories to print in the past, but I have always laughed this off. But when we found ourselves in our first ever lockdown, I ordered nine Pukka pads, a large amount of pens, and sat in our garden summer house every day and scribbled my life memoirs, to the best that my 57 year old memory allowed.

Yes this book is about my weird obsessions, my deep love of music, and the unusual situations that I have always found myself in. But overall it is about the lifelong friendships of a group of Northern folk growing up in the 1970's and beyond.

From life changing discoveries in my pre teens, to life and death decision making in my later years, the overwhelming conclusion of my story is that I am truly blessed and even though things in my life have not always gone to plan, I am blessed.
