I was born in 1957 in Penarth, S. Wales, walking distance from the sea, I believe that the sea may be in my blood. I have always been a practising Christian and have spent a good deal of time in recent years reflecting on my faith journey. I've written a journal for several years; I began to use this to help me write down my reflections. I have written some poetry too. You are able to read some of this if you choose on wordpress: Life is a Pilgrimage I feel closest to God and at one with nature, whilst walking in the hills and beside the sea. I love to sit in silence to read and reflect. Having retired in 2019, I have taken a step aside from 'doing' in church life, at least for the time being. As a friend said, 'so long you've been Martha, time to be Mary' Pilgrimage has become an important part of life for both my husband and myself.
