A Lady at Sea.

Some of you may have read a blog post I wrote in January 2013 about ' Having the Ability to say No.'
I mentioned then that I had been asked to do a talk at the RNLI Fish and Chip supper about my career in the Merchant Navy.
Well just over a year after my talk entitled 'A Lady at Sea' debuted in front of about 80 people, it has gone from strength to strength. Feedback from that very first evening was really favourable and complimentary. Several people suggested that I ought to go round and talk to WI groups.
I decided this would be great idea and after a little bit of tweaking to the original, a talk has evolved which I have now presented six times.
I have even got  two bookings for 2015 already!
I do keep rereading and rewriting it, adding and taking out bits that I think work better and changing the photos that I show.
It has given me a real boost of confidence and I'm so pleased at how interested people are in my story and they always ask questions!
As someone said at a recent talk I did, 'it beats learning about icing a cake or country hedgerows!'
