A bit about me . . . .

When I reached retirement age, thinking about how on earth I was going to fill my days, gave me many sleepless nights.

After years of leading a very busy and active working life in Management positions within the Leisure Industry, from Pubs and Hotels to British Military Clubs ….I knew it would not be an easy transition for me.

Especially as I had spent over 15 years working in Germany with the Navy Army & Air Force Institute (NAAFI).

It was during this period I volunteered to join NAAFI's uniformed branch. This led me to being posted for a tour on the Falkland Islands as a commissioned Officer. Hence August 1984 found me in Army boots and uniform sailing down to the South Atlantic on a cross channel car ferry. A mere 8000 miles away from home.

Eventually I decided to fill my days with my favourite hobbies.
Travelling the world on cruise ships and exploring the wonders of the internet. Both of which enabled me to meet and talk to people throughout the world.

 

In my youth I had always wanted to draw and paint pictures, but that was something I soon found out I could not do.  However I did find out that I could paint pictures with words hence the title of my website ‘Word Pictures

 

By combining all three of my hobbies I have found that I have managed to fill my retirement years very well indeed. 

Yours Beverley
