Hi everyone!my name is Brenda Patterson!i live in the states now,but i was born on the 14th october 1936 in Edinburgh,Scotland,my father was the banker Angus Patterson[god rest his soul]and my mother was Caitlin O'Malley,a beautiful Harpist from Galway-i got my love of music from her!she is playing her beautiful music to the angels now!i am a pure fiery celt!i live life to the full even though i am now almost 77!i went water skying in florida last year!i have bungee jumped off Niagara falls!i thank the good lord every day i get up for his gift of life!i wan't to go to heaven after i die-but i have been a very bad girl in the past i'm afraid!i misbehaved terribly in all my schools!, but you will be glad to hear i was soundly punished for my transgressions-many a time i found myself in the headmaster/headmistress's office-bending over the desk or touching my toes,knickers pulled down to my knees or ankles,skirt raised,waiting to feel the sting of the cane on my ass!i naturally hated it at the time!but i am so grateful for all that now!i was only a few weeks at the now demolished School of ST.Trumwine's,Dunstanburgh,England,but it was a truly memorable few weeks!the headmaster was involved in a shocking scandal![i have told the whole story to Secretspanker and given him permission to tell it on his schoolgirl social group]the schools i went to after St.Trumwine's were sadly too 'liberal' and i was allowed to get away with murder!as a last resort i was sent to a very strict convent in Galway that my mother had also went to-The Nuns there soon sorted me out!i stayed there till i was 18-i was a very devout catholic girl by then,the nuns saw a great future for me as a missionary in africa-i joined a mission in Kenya-but a few years later the Mau Mau uprising occured-some of the dear sisters were killed!i narrowly escaped with my own life!i made a new life in London,i married my first husband Peter-we had a son,Lionel,but we sadly separated after just 2 years of marriage,then the swinging 60's arrived!i cast off all my inhibitions!i 'Lapsed' as they say!i took L.S.D. !,i protested against the vietnam war in grosvenor square!i ended up in hospital after a protester threw a brick at a policeman and it hit me on the head instead!the 70's were a depressing time for me!power cut!strikes!in 1982 i finally had enough!i moved to Texas!i married an oil baron!he was 10 years older than me!he kept me in line!many a time i felt the sting of his leather belt!we had 3 daughters and a son-Florence,Caitlin,Brigitte,and Brian,they were all brought up very strictly!sadly my first son Lionel became a 'Punk rocker'-i have had not seen him since he went off with a slutty girl in 1983 to las vegas.the paddle was used in our childrens schools-i prefered the cane!so my husband would cane them very hard if they had got the paddle at school that day-i sound unduly harsh don't i?but i was determined my beautiful children would not end up like Lionel.although originally Roman Catholic i became a baptist and was a regular church goer,my wealthy husband entirely rebuilt the crumbling local church-it is now the finest in Texas!my lovely Daddy died in 1989 and my mom in 2002-she witnessed the terrible events of 9/11 with me!the anti-muslim backlash that followed made me very angry!i began to protest!my husband used his belt on me more often to curb his 'unruly' wife-but he too was secretly appalled by the international situation,and used some of his influence to get at least some of the muslim prisoners in Guantanamo bay released-this made him extremely unpopular in George Bush's home state!he got death threats!eventually the strain on our marriage proved too much and we divorced in 2003.i returned to my native Edinburgh and was appalled at how things had become in my native country since i left!muggings!paedophiles!hoodies!ladettes!,i was briefly a primary school teacher but was sacked for spanking a 4 year old girl for calling me a 'Ginger old witch'-and that was one of the nicer things the boys and girls said!how could i maintain a class without discipline?i was actually arrested and thrown in prison!i got 6 months for 'assaulting a minor'-i was locked up alongside Prostitutes!when i was released i had a nervous breakdown!i am to this day still on anti-depressants-i put on weight!in january 2007 i suffered my first heart attack!i thought i was gonna die!but a vision came to me in hospital!i saw my mom!she told me to change my ways or i will burn in hell for eternity!i joined weight watchers-by 2011 i was fighting fit!in march 2012 i decided to move permanently to the states with all my surviving family-my younger sister Mary and my cousins Nigel and lisa.with the money from my divorce settlement we moved to new orleans and bought a lovely old 'shack'-i wanted the simpler life-i refuse to have a television in my house,but i listen to the radio of course because of my love of music!my son Brian inherited his fathers vast fortune in 2012-he married a lovely girl-Cathy Marks,and a beautiful daughter is born in 2013- Clara-i am a grandmother now!my other children have all by now married respectable husbands-one is a baptist minister!the other is a senator!sadly i have not been well recently-i fear i may not be long for this world!but hopefully a better world awaits me!where there is discipline!where people have to take responsibility for their own actions!i hope i meet my second husband there!i long to feel his leather belt once more!
