Hello everyone!

So sorry it's been such a long time since my last entry. Both my boys have had full blown flu, including sickness, and then poor Boy 2 had another sickness bug, so I've been a nurse for two weeks.

As predicted, the finish of radiotherapy made me tired and a bit emotional, although I've had little time to think about it due to mum duties. I managed to get to the launch of Material for a couple of hours and really enjoyed it . It was fun to be introduced to the great and the good of north east poetry . I've just
found out that a poem I sent off months ago is going to be published in a Californian magazine next month! I never thought I would be published or ever find my voice in poetry and im so grateful that this has happened.
So im going back to work after Easter, which is the middle of April. I will take three weeks to get back to full time , then I will be off for more surgery in June. Im nearly there now. A very strange feeling. I will return to normal life irrevocably changed and a deeper, more articluate person.

Thank you all for your kind messages. I hope to be catching up with lots of journals over the next few days.

Been reading an awful lot of Mary Oliver and Sharon Olds. It's like taking poetry medicine.
