Family photo from the early 1920s, Redondela (Pontevedra, Galicia). We have a 30-year-old in the family who looks exactly like his great-grandfather in this photo. It's just like in García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. People die and come back again. GM's grandmother was from Galicia and he says her story telling influenced him. #Galicia #Familyhistory #Vigo

I work in English Language Teaching as an #Editor, #Writer and #DEI consultant, mainly focusing on #LGBTQIA representation which is woefully lacking. I self-published a resource book called Existence, which I believe is the first and only LGBTQIA+ ELT resource book. I also started @iamnotataboo

#Introduction I am the Good Cheer Pixie. I lost my soulmate in May 2019 and since then I have slowly come to terms with my single life, something I have no intention of giving up. I live with my #JRT Toni, who was born May 2008. I work part-time. Would love to travel. Wish I had discovered kayaking and messing about in water 40 years ago.
I enjoy #outdoors #nature #walking #familyhistory #food #cooking #reading #wordgames.
