Well this is me for those of you who dont know me. My name is Ann and I am 41 years young,  and I have always lived in Surrey, UK.  I have been married and that brought me my wonderful, precious children, Ian and Katie. I reverted to my maiden name when he remarried.
I have a brother, Colin, who is married to Sophie, which brought two new members to the family, Sophie and her son Mark, and of course, Mum and Dad. I have a black cat, Jasmine. She had a brother, Jess who was tragically killed  in a road accident. I also have a grey tabby, Jellybean.

I Hosted MSN_UKs chat forum Grapevine for over 2 years, but then went on to work in MSN_UKs  News community in September 2001, and am still there to this day.

I have been tracing my family tree for the last 16 years with a reasonable amount of success, and I also love Formula One motor racing and never miss a Grand Prix.

In my site youll find out all about me and my family and friends, and also find some links to my favourite sites, including my fathers watercolour webpage and my sons homepage.

I learnt how to make web graphics, and here on this page is one of my attempts to design from scratch.
Special thanks must go to Suz whos graphic design is out of this world, featured elsewhere on this site, and an inspiration among many others, to learn how to do it myself.

Thank you for visiting. :o)

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep
I am the thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the soft uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
