Mama JunkYard’s

About Me

Every time I redesign my site I am compelled to amend the details contained in my ‘about me’ page. This is my fourth site redesign and therefore my fourth attempt at writing ‘an about me’ section. One would imagine that I would find this task easy. Alas this is not the case. You see, each time I compose an ‘about me’ section I am simply finding different ways to retell the same story – and there are only so many ways one can write about one’s name or date/place of birth.

The temptation to reinvent myself is all too real. I mean what harm would it do if I hinted at my betrothal to Prince William? Who would bother to question my assertion that I am in possession of a winning lottery ticket? ….hmmm…there but for the incarceration of Jeffery Archer go I….

So I leave you with the same old facts that were on display this time last year; in the same old format…..oh but with an ancient picture of me (complete with creases) and an extra paragraph at the bottom…
