Welcome to Scribes Afoot

I first conceived of writing a blog about my walking back in 2009. I started on blogspot and sporadically wrote about some of my adventures. I had a lot of ideas of blogs to write and some actually got written!

Life was busier back then, I was a full time teacher until 2014 and then left to tutor freelance in the evenings and do office work during the day. Then my Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimers and I slid into being a carer for him. Sadly he died in November 2021.

I found myself at a bit of a loose end, struggling with my mental health and still tutoring part time, I started to look for a way to combine my love of writing with earning a living.

I am now studying to be a copywriter and plan to update my proofreading skills from an ancient course I did back when everything was on paper. This will mean that I should have more time to write my blog and it's good practice for my new career. Win win!!
