Everytime I read stories about ME and my fellow sufferers, the emphasis is nearly always on the negative - understandably so, but there is nothing more depressing than reading about the poor state we're all in, so I wanted to build a website that would tell it like it is, but also emphasise the positive for a change.

I do believe that focussing on the positive is the only way to feel better about yourself, however healthy or unhealthy you may feel.  And that applies to non-ME sufferers, too.  There is a positive, if you look hard enough.  Keep on looking.
 
 

Click here for my most recent update, created in May 2005.

As of April 2006, I have a  blog in which I will make regular updates, on health, healing, and any thing else that touches my life.  I am unlikely to update this website in the future, as my blog should continue my story.

Visit my Care2 photo galleries:   Trees and Seas,  Sunsets  and  Images of Italy.  If you like them, please use them for E-cards.  Every time somebody uses Care2, the site sponsors donate money to charity.  Here's a thumbnail selection.
 

Many of my photos are also suitable for downloading as wallpaper.

If you would like to email me, you can find me at debbieinengland@care2.com.

I have two other websites:  one is an appreciation of a film about the life and times of Henry Purcell, England, My England, directed by Tony Palmer and starring Michael Ball and Simon Callow;  the other is Alone Together, about a show created by Michael Ball for the Divas at the Donmar season, 2001.
 

Many thanks to Jo Turner who didn't gasp in horror when she realised what I meant by scanning a 'few' photos.  Bless you, Jo.  Thanks also to Marilyn Knoke and Kerstin Wöhlgemuth for allowing me to use some of their pictures.

I support Care2.com, WSPA  and The Hunger Site, websites which provide funds for environmental and health charities. You can make a difference, simply by clicking on these links.
