A small pinned biography - more will be threaded as my muse dictates.

1) here's me as a toddler standing on the steps of my childhood home.

Good job, honorary sister
Busy pre rain gardening day
Remove two figs and a trumpet vine with delusions of being wanted
Cut vegetation around fosse soak away
Refit porch roof where I had to remortar a tile and fix a crack

Now resting time
Says the woman that lives in Pacific Northwest 😂
Oh and dark chocolate enrobed marzipan
Something I fell in love with when I worked in Hamburg and sometimes visited Lubeck
AI would probably hallucinate five testicles
