About
Marian
I was born in a small
village in the North West of England
and have lived here most
of my life. When my husband, Noel,
retired in 1984 we spent
a lot of time in our holiday home in
Wales where
I wrote stories for local radio.
In 2000 Noel
(who had been a paraplegic from the age of 22)
began to
suffer severe health problems and became partially
housebound,
so our social activities had to be curtailed.
I started to
write again and this time an idea for a poem
came to me
followed by others. My favourite poems are about
the
wonder
of God's creation. I spend a great deal of time in
my
garden and
never cease to marvel at the beauty all around us.
I also love
to walk in the mountains where I seem to get
inspiration
to write a lot of my poems.
Sadly, I lost my
husband last year and though I continue to write,
I miss sharing my
work with him. He was always my inspiration as,
in spite of his
disability, he had a philosophical attitude to what
happened to
him and had great inner strength.
I feel so honoured to be
a part of this beautiful website and if
you would also like to
visit my website, I sincerely hope you
will find a poem to
inspire, upift or comfort you.
God Bless
Marian
