Profile

"Hi I’m Verna. I am 61 and live with my husband Doug in Didsbury Manchester, an area known for it’s bars and restaurants. We have 4 children and 2 grandchildren and spend lots of time travelling around in "Stanley" our camper van.

I have an infectious enthusiasm and curiosity of what life holds in store. I also have a great sense of fun. I love all kinds of music, antique Chinese furniture and am currently learning the ancient art of Chinese Calligraphy.

I have spent 40 colourful years as a jeweller and have loved every minute and would certainly choose this career again and again. In 2005 whilst representing Beaverbrooks the Jeweller I won the coveted and prestigious "UK Store Manager of the Year" which was the highlight of my career.

From an early age words have fascinated me and I am an avid reader but turning the words into poetry is the thing I love the most. The characters and situations I have encountered in the course of my job and life have provided great inspiration for my poems."
