ello and welcome to my personal page, where hopefully you will
learn a little about me. My hopes, interests and aspirations.
Many people have questioned; "What is the meaning of
life?" Those of you who are old enough will recall the Monty Python team
also asking the same question! As I recall, I don’t think they found the
answer. Seriously though, I am a philosophical girl at heart. You are born
to this life with nothing and you leave with nothing. . . The most important
thing is how you interact with other members of the human race along life's
difficult highway. Treat people with love and respect and it should be
reciprocated. If it is not, then there is something special that has been
lost from their life. Most of all, if you cannot do someone a good turn, do
not do them a bad one.
If someone is left with a good feelings about you as an
individual, then you have found the meaning of life. . . to be loved by
humanity and to be at peace with the world and the people around you.

ne of my particular interests is computing. As a family, we are
all a little 'technically' inclined. I have always been interested in computers
from the humble beginning of the first "home computers" in the early 1980's,
when I recall the only 'home computer' was the one you built yourself, I speak
of the early days just as Mr Jobs, Mr Wozniak & Mr Gates had their visions of
the future. How things have changed since then!
We build our own computers for the extended family, mine is not
quite 'state of the art' due to the exorbitant costs involved, but not far off.
We always try to keep on the cutting edge of technology to run our flight
simulation software which requires a tremendous amount of memory and processor
power.

erhaps, if you are old enough to recall the 1960's, you may remember the old
black and white t.v. sitcom, "Hancocks Half Hour", in particular one
program called "The Radio Ham". Although this program took a farcical view of
amateur radio, I always had a curious fascination when we visited a family
friend, he was able to talk to someone on the other side of the world
without the constraints of wires. Of course in this day and age with
mobile telephones and computers, many would say why bother. However,
in my early 20's with a group of work colleagues at that time, I started
studying for the Radio Amateurs Examination to obtain a transmitting licence and
successfully obtained a Full transmitting licence in 1986. The interest has
been followed recently by my younger daughter Eleanor who gained her
foundation licence at the age of 15. She can be heard locally on the V.H.F. and
U.H.F. amateur frequencies during weekdays and sometimes at the weekend.

have always had deep love of all things Japanese since
childhood and hope to visit in the not too distant future. Speaking just a
little of the language I would hope to survive for the duration based in Kyoto,
where I would try to
discover the old Hanamachi district. My mastery of the language is somewhat
slower than I anticipated though!
My other interests include
writing poetry,
when a subject moves me sufficiently. You may find a few samples in "Poetz
Corner" and "Poetz inc. well" elsewhere in this website.
I come from an artistic family and we have a number of oil
paintings produced by my father. Please take time to view examples of my
fathers artwork in the link 'Ra~Creation'.
As an individual? I am currently "single" again at this moment in
time. Perhaps one day the right person will come along. In the mean time I am ,
kept busy by so many other things!
With just a few 'close' friends, I hold down a full time career
in a branch of the legal profession.
