Barbara's History with the Conditions

Barbara started a blog in 2012. In it, she writes about her life with MS, her son, who's currently attending university, and anything else that randomly pops into her mind.

She recently completed an MA in Creative Writing at Cardiff Metropolitan University and has decided to put herself through the trauma and sleepless nights once more, this time embarking upon a Ph.D. in the same subject.

Her book, "Stumbling in Flats" was short-listed for the International Rubery Book Award 2015. Later, her Master's dissertation novella was short-listed for the 2017 Exeter Story Prize.

Barbara can often be found bingeing on Netflix box sets, drinking soya lattes in cafes "for inspiration," and meeting up with friends who have supported her from the beginning. Oh, and she likes expensive candles and gift shops in museums.
