In Her Own Words
About her
Originally from London. Work life balance is important. For fun I garden; am taking piano lessons and I joined a Rock Choir and learning to read music. Also like photography, especially nature. I have a background in fashion and textiles and do arts and crafts. I walk, I especially like the coast as I live near it.
I love a dinner dancer especially a Burns Supper. I've really got into classical music recently, but also like a bit of karaoke now and again, I don't take it too seriously.
I used to do partner dancing e.g. salsa and ballroom at beginners level. Never found a suitable partner 😔 so have given up. I do like a bit of Strictly.
Ok with DIY, I can upcycle like there is no tomorrow. And I can change a plug!
I have 3 books on the go at the moment (2 physical and 1 audio), and do volunteering on and off (currently for Guide Dogs).
Friends describe me as organised, dependable and sociable.
I have allergies to strong scent e.g aftershave, and lilies.
Favourite wine : New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.
Favourite cocktail: French Martini.
Favourite food: Thai curry.
Favourite places I have visited include: Queenstown, NZ, Laos and Mexico.
Places I'd like to visit include: Vienna, Venice and Portmeirion (I am not a number!)
Places I have lived: London, Manchester and Edinburgh.
Got any of these in common or could you teach me a thing or two? Oh, and yes, I have a cat 🐈⬛ ...
