Personal Blogs

I used to see myself as a European at one time, especially when we had become part of the European Community, and for most of the years in which I had been growing up in (1970s)

I have had some wonderful  holidays in France in the past, and became interested in learning the French language,  travelling in Europe and learning about other cultures.

Later when Brexit came along and we left Europe, I felt more cut off, also with the Austerity, now I have found it more difficult to afford to travel abroad.

I am so happy that I am learning to speak French because it was something I had always wanted to learn, as it was on my bucket list of things to do!  I still have some links over there with my french friends with who I am still in contact.

However, in the process of studying language, I have become very interested in language generally , and in my own language in particular, especially in creative writing.

As a child I had a good imagination and used to write stories at school, which the teacher would then read out to the class.
Of course as time went on and my life changed so did my priorities. My mother was ill and so I became her carer. Later on I became a Health care worker.

Now I am a carer(my day job!) and studying. I feel a yearning to write, perhaps write short stories or blogs? Maybe become a writer?
I know that I still have a lot to learn perhaps in terms of grammar/ punctuation or in structuring sentences.
But It is never too late to learn!
