Hey there! I'm an average woman living an average life. I have 4 adult children - a #trans daughter & 3 sons and two grandchildren I'd give my life for. I'm an #atheist #humanist #Whovian #historygeek obsessed with #genealogy #Archealogy and #davidbowie. I'm easily distracted by interesting facts and intriguing #mysteries. I believe in #HumanRights that #loveislove and that #Voting is not just a right, it is a responsibility. I boost more than I post and I occasionally say something quite witty. hope to meet as many fascinating people here as I did on the bird app.
