I suppose I should start with telling you a little about myself. I'm a mum to 3 teenagers, a challenge in itself, I'm a taxi service to those aforementioned children. And I suppose the most interesting thing about me, that people usually stop and say wow, is that I am a parrot breeder! I keep all kind of parrots from budgies to large macaws. I have rescues, rehomes, and birds that I have bred myself. Many birds pass through my doors, and I feel responsible for each and every one of them long after they have moved on.
My hobby, apart from birds is photography, so expect to see lots of photos on this blog. I'm just a novice, but I'm a passionate novice! I shall chart my progress in the photography arena here, tell you of my attempts, my successes and of course my failures.
Another reason for this blog is a kind of emotional diary. I have been suffering from depression for a while now, indeed I spent the week before Christmas in hospital. Depression is a horrible illness. I guess years ago I used to think people who said they were "depressed" just meant they were a little fed up, or sad. Now though I know how debilitating it can be. How dark, and lonely it is. How tired it can make you feel, of life, of everything. Sometimes I feel I am always low, so using this diary I can remind myself of the times when I was happier, more optimistic.
On a brighter note, here's my latest photography masterpiece. I'm very pleased with how this one turned out!
