- About Me and my Creativity.
- My creativity has been dormant for far too long so far as painting and craftwork go. I have produced some good ceramic work in the past but alas non of it is now in my possession. The A'level work I produced was much more worth keeping than the low grade certificate it achieved - I was robbed!
UPDATE :12th May 2009 - up until the course finnished a few weeks ago I had begun to revive some of my creativity in a pottery class. I am really quite pleased with some of the results and may be able to resume the class when it starts again in September.
Aniother new thing i have retaken on is an alotment. They take a lot of work it the produce is meant to be good for you!
These days I study and have to write assignments for that but creative writing or even an autobiography might be a way to procede more productively.
Other creative pursuits I enjoy are gardening and photography of family and nature - in particular trees.
- Likes and Dislikes
- I like good wholesome organically grown food because i know it is better for me and better for the earth.
I dislike anything distructive - especially to nature.
- Are you a disabled person? Does this affect your creativity?
- Yes. The inability to prioritise my time.
I have a bi-polar diagnosis and if only I could achieve another high I'd be away again on the creative trail.
UPDATE: I do not need to be high to be creative. I am a potter, a gardener and a cook.

- PATCH - Parents Apart from Their CHildren - is group that meets in Nottingham the 2nd Thursday of each month since January 2008. It is open to any parent who is separated from their child through family breakdown, care proceedings or adoption.
There was a programme on Channel 4 'Lost in care' 11/05/09 which explained some interesting facts about how the care system is letting down children and young people. The lives of our children are important to us as a society and it is widely acknowledged that the best interests of the child are usually served by them staying in the care of the parent/s. Yet this programme failed to point out that many parents have their children retained in care following short term problems without being given the opportunity to have the child/ren back. In fact the programme asserted that prolonged efforts to reunite the children with their families actually was the reason that they missed the opportunity to get them adopted at a young enough age to be of effective benefit.
The programme did not point out that very often children are taken from parents with downs syndrome and mental illness and put up for adoption, rather the suggestion was that the children all came from parents who abused and/or took drugs and alcohol. There are many cases i know of myself included where non of that was so - except for mental illness which was exacerbated by the distress of not having my baby who I had cared for over 3 months.
There are issues like this happening in many counties here and many other countries also.

Did you misdirect this post to me? I cannot remember writing writing anything about film-making anywhere!
As for my biography that would be for another time. Still got too much in progress to write about it, past or current.
Maybe in the future?

In any doubt, why not explore the site so far, and look on what is there, under the notes section. You can find it at memphasis.ning.com
I am here to help if you would like that.

Finally got back to my own site! Thanks for your role in relinking with Jill, who sorted me out. Sleep apnoea is more pernicious than I imagined. Enjoy the picture!
