About Jan Allison

(Show Details...)

Thought I better get round to writing a bit about myself.

I'm married and live on the Isle of Man

My poetry journey began in November 2013 after my husband was diagnosed with cancer. The first poem I wrote was called was Splendid Isolation. This was written after we returned to the Isle of Man after his surgery in England. I felt so alone and vulnerable in the accommodation - all I really needed was someone to talk to face to face and maybe have a hug! I posted a few poems on a friends facebook page - mainly humerous poems . An on-line friend Jenny Brewer saw my poems and kept telling me to join here. It took about 3 weeks of her asking me if i had joined to pluck up the courage to finally post and 'Just Desserts' was the first poem I posted here - it is based on a true experience! Since then my life has been a whirl. In Jared Pickett's collaboration I teamed up with Darren Watson and we wrote together collaboratively as JaDazzle United.

I adore penguins - the animals not the biscuits!
Loveeeee tall men with greying hair
I love baking/cooking
I like to potter in the garden - need more time to commit to it but have an aged mother who needs me more than my garden does
Adore most types of music - will give anything a listen
Best ever gig - Knebworth 1986 when 'Queen' headlined

I had terrible trouble last night Jan and gave up, it still came up a couple of times today. Grrr Went to Connie's potd and a copy ended up on the day befores. The worry is the software might be unstable and crash like its done before so I'd urge everyone to back up your work if you haven't already done so. Tom

I'm sure they will fix it. It kind of gives me a break because I am so behind here , Jan!! This is a really hectic week for me. Good luck with all this.

Hi Jan, I experienced that glitch, too. What I did was- I reload page and if it didn’t work I changed browser. Hope this helps.

I'm having the same problem, Jan. It's really frustrating. When they get it fixed, it'll take me days to catch up. Oh well, computers develop glitches!
