Frida’s house - Caza Azul I left school at 16 a Frida’s house - Caza Azul

I left school at 16 and did all my further education later in life. I studied for my degree with the Open University. One of the modules touched on Frida Kahlo’s life and work. She had such a hard life with severe illness and injury. Yet she lived a vibrant, resilient life. Her art saved her. Since my studies, I’ve discovered more and more about her and her work. It’s been a real trip highlight to be lucky enough to get to visit her house.

This was our first book of the year for our bookcl This was our first book of the year for our bookclub #readingladiesofbirmingham It tells the story of Kya, also known as Marsh Girl. She’s abandoned by her family and left alone to survive in the wilds. A celebration of nature, a story of surviving against all odds, love, heartbreak and yes, murder. 

I absolutely loved it - unusual and absorbing. I’m giving it a @thisandthecity

I’ve been meaning to start this series of posts I’ve been meaning to start this series of posts for several months. When I realised it was #worldcancerday2022 today, I decided to get cracking

I have been looking after and supporting Tony, who was diagnosed with blood cancer last year

I am definitely no expert and these blogs are based on my own experience. So, here’s the first one - link in bio 

Lots of thank yous to come in future posts, but today I’m thanking @scottjamesdale for the inspiration 💖
