Que Sera

I came to Canada as a young child with a vague notion that doctors there would make me better. In England I was sick a lot of the time, and my parents were hopeful the move would give me a chance for a life. The hope lay in the pioneering work of Dr.William Mustard, one of Canada’s unsung heroes.

In my new country, I got healthy and thrived. I learned to skate, play hockey, paddle a canoe and play the guitar. I lived through the tumultuous sixties, not always travelling in a straight line. Moving to a new country was difficult for my parents, who often struggled to find peace of mind and could not provide the guidance I needed. Our family eventually came apart at the seams.

I now live with my life partner, whom I met at the right time. We have two adult children and four amazing grandchildren. They are the central joy of our lives. When not in their company, I spend as much time as I can in the great outdoors. I enjoy camping, paddling, playing hockey, and, at least once a week, gathering with friends to play music. In my spare time, I find the time to write.
