Welcome to www.tonya.me.uk
This is my personal site and collective. I am now first &
foremost a mum! I
am or was a freelance IT Consultant & IT
Trainer / Web Site Developer and in my spare time I am studying for an Environmental Science Degree. Phew !! This Site is dedicated to me & my family.
Its kind of a fun thing that started as work back in 2003, then took
on a life of its own and evolved into a place to have fun & keep a sort of 20th century diary / blog.
Interesting photographs & reading the news Posted
on 28/04/2012 by Tonya
There was this amazing picture in the paper today that caught my eye. I read a daily newspaper almost every day. Especially since becoming a mum I like to know what is going on in the world. Before having Zachary I must confess I was woefully uninterested in the news. I was probably a little selfish and my world revolved around me, I was busy busy busy being a career minded busy business woman who missed friends birthday parties, didn't spend time with my family or really enough with my husband and really on the whole was having a great time being busy and having fun. I am happier now ! I am less selfish, I have more time to enjoy life, I have discovered the art of being purposefully idle (taking time for life) and am far happier as a result. I also watch what is happening in the rest of the world with more interest. I have after all two children growing up in it. Mostly the paper tends to have boring stories or sad news but now & then something will catch my eye that makes me stop. Tim Vollmer lives in Iceland and photographs nature, wildlife & people. This picture is inside a glacier. It is one of the things on my list of things I want to so. Stand on a Glacier !

2012 - My boy & new baby Seren-Grace
Zachary & I are happy in 2012 to welcome baby Seren-Grace into our little family. Zachary is so happy to have a little sister :)
I have not changed my site for a while so have decided to do a bit of work. My family has expanded this year so to welcome Seren-Grace I should also add her story to my family / kiddie pages. I also need to sort out the gallery (which doesn't really work) & may well resort to an external add on site. Some research is in order - meanwhile watch this space. I have also added a graphic background :)

<Tonya, Zachary's New Blog / Journal for 2007 > Posted
by Tonya Nov 2006
These days I only
have time to keep Zachary's Blog updated so I have
decided for 2007 to combine the two and start to work
on a baby gallery. I need to practice my PHP & CSS
Gallery coding anyway so this is the best place. Besides
I have so many lovely photo's of Zachary to share. Here
is my Blog

Zachary's Blog << Baby
Zachary born at 30 weeks - almost 10 weeks premature >> Posted
by Tonya Feb 2006
Baby Zachary could not wait to join the
world. Having a premature baby and sitting next to an
incubator was not part of the plan and it was hard work
but baby Zachary is none the worse for arriving 9 weeks
premature. In fact now in 2006 he is growing into a lovely
chubby baby. Read the story

Pregnancy Diary & baby pages - Posted
by Tonya July 2005
I thought it would be neat to add some
baby
pages recording my experiences as a new mum. I
have started a pregnancy diary, 'Tonya's diary of a
pregnant woman' and hope to continue with pics and
diary of a newborn baby. Just so my friends and family
can keep up with where I am at.

Had my 20
week ultrasound which went absolutely fine. Baby
appears fine no obvious problems and they are aprox
75 % sure of picking up most obvious defects etc. Plus
was able to confirm my own feeling that its a baby
boy ! Cool huh!

Why I am called Tonya.
The meaning of the name Tonya Posted June 05 by
Tonya
Tonya is often referred to as a shortened
version of Antonia. Antonia is the female version of Anthony.
Anthony happens to be my Dad's name ! he he. In Slovakian
Tonya means fairy. In latin Tonya means worthy of praise
or priceless. I was named Tonya after one of the Characters
from Doctor Zhivago. It was the only film playing at Bangor
Cinema and Mum saw it lots of times. The two lead female
roles are Lara and Tonya. Mum and Dad decided if I was
born blonde I would be called Lara. I was born with dark
hair so they called me Tonya. Tonya is the character played
by Geraldine Chaplin. (Tonya (Geraldine
Chaplin) and Yuri Zhivago (Omar Sharif) in Doctor Zhivago )
