I live in a rather crumbling old house with my three sons, one Irish Setter and two black cats, one of which suffers from a Napoleon complex - one of the cats, not my sons although that is debatable at times. I work part-time these days as Enregistreur des Naissances, Mariages et Décès, a job which I enjoy and fills my house with musty old leather registers. I rather fell into this, as I seem to fall into most things, by accident. My previous jobs were in music and music therapy for children, plus the odd bit of secretarial work to help keep the pennies rolling. I love reading and writing, I suppose it could be described as a quite time consuming hobby in a lot of ways. I don’t expect to ever earn anything by my writing, although I admit in the early days I had dreams of finding fame and fortune but soon very quickly realised that poets are rarely rich! That suits me in a funny sort of way as I feel that my writing is very much influenced by who I am. I sometimes chuckle too think what some of the poets of years past would think about how their poetry is interpreted today. Although I don’t expect posterity in writing, I think by just writing, you are in a way putting a part of yourself on record. A sort of, I was here aspect to it. I love writing and because I love it, I can’t take it as seriously as perhaps some would think I should. If that were to happen, then I feel I would lose the reason why I write.
