Personal profile:
I enjoy reading and keeping up to date in professional journals and personal books.
I enjoy listening to various music and like cultural influences of music genres.
I enjoy walking and some weekends, I enjoy going away for walking weekends, doing 7-10 miles per day. I enjoy nature, river walks and lakes and spectacular views.
I enjoy meeting friends / family members for coffee and meals out and hopefully this will be more possible, as we merge out of locked down for COVID19
I enjoy dancing and in particular salsa movement, which I find stimulating and graceful.
I volunteer for my local food bank when I can and I support a Domestic Violence charity who provide toys for children fleeing a domestic violence home scene. So if there are any knitters there, please get in contact with me, so a little knitted bear can go into the packs for the children, who may have lost everything, when they leave a vulnerable and dangerous setting. So, get in touch if you know someone who knits.
Thanks for looking at my profile.
