Salaam Shalom and Peace!

Welcome – to people of all faiths and to those of no faith. This is an opportunity for me to let off a bit of steam and hopefully at the same time, give you an insight into the views and opinions of  a middle-aged British Muslim woman of Pakistani heritage, via her ramblings. Some which will be coherent, others not. But all, I guarantee, written whilst completely sober.

I came to Britain in 1965 having been born in Pakistan and spent the first 25 years of my life living in Leeds. Since 1994 I’ve been proud to live and work across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, indeed the West Midlands.  After nearly 30 years I think it’s safe to say we have very definitely settled here. Married to a wonderful man, we have three children, 2 daughters-in-law 2 grandchildren, 3 cats (having lost one recently) and 2 rather large terrapins! I also have many fingers in many pies as some of you will, no doubt, be aware of.

The usual disclaimers apply – all  views and opinions expressed are my own – you may not agree with them, you may be offended by them. But “If you fuel your journey on the opinions of others, you are going to run out of gas.” (Steve Maraboli).
