Hi I have a small boy (who is 6 today!) 4 guinea pigs and a whole heap of ancestors that keep me on my toes. When I do finally get a moment to myself I love to paint pictures and do gardening. Thankfully as I dont get a lot of time to myself I only have a small garden, which the guinea pigs help with, I never have to get the lawn mower out! Sheila x

I love flower arranging, painting (unfortuneately my hand doesn't seem capable of painting what my eyes see, but I still enjoy it. Family history of course and finding out about the places my ancesters come from. and all crafts

I don't have a lot of spare time because I have ME and luckily I'm able to work part-time, but I do make my own greetings cards. I also did a qualification in Interior Design, so you can see I like all things arty! I play the piano and sometimes sit down for a while and toodle, but that's not very often! I'm also very interested in technology and think the PC is a wonderful resource.
