I am an habitual magpie which seriously needed attending to and I absolutely love gardening. I am a born again Christian and attend http://www.planetshakers.com/ check them out ..- hope this gives you a bit of an insight into who I am - oh I almost forgot the most important members of the family who live with me - two cats - a very cheeky but loveable three year old female called Cookie Monster and the old man and boss of all, 13 year old Nemko - who loves to snuggle up and just sleep the days away.
