Hi! — I'm very glad to join you folks on this forum. I've had MS for about 20 years, which, after the initial attack had died down, was called "probably benign" and now is "probably PPMS". Can walk short distances but balance poor so I furniture-walk indoors and use a rollator when outside. Happily married, no kids, 5 dogs, small house... which as 3 of them are Irish wolfhounds, actually translates to: small, very messy & untidy house with no spare floor space, ever, so I'm always grabbing grab rails to help climbing over & around. I'm used to never being able to see the TV, let alone watch anything on it!

Kept pet sheep in the garden for some time & am into horses too. I feel very fortunate to have started with RDA (riding for disabled) locally which I love. My aim? - "to get good enough in dressage to compete in the London 2012 para-olympics"... Well that's what I tell people though I'm not daft enough to believe it's actually possible . But that doesn't matter, does it? It's fun to enjoy and to dream!

Was a weaver / ropemaker and now it's mainly digital art, book illustration and graphic design. Dabble in many crafts, especially textile ones.

Looking forward to meeting y'all.
