About Me

Mama Mpira: Guernsey, United Kingdom; I love to have coffee with friends. We all need a helping hand or three in life. . I started blogging a few years ago to chronicle the obtaining and curing of a broken nose. Learning to surf - the ocean, not the internet - at the age of 50 plus wasn't such a good idea, but it made a good story. I then caught the blogging bug... So who am I really? Wife, mother of twins, lover of dogs,teacher, family member, disciple ... not necessarily in that order.
