I have been a widow for 2 years; I have a married daughter and a 5 year old daughter. I want to make new friends as sadly several of my close friends are no longer earth bound. My passions and interests are many but topping the list is classical music. My career spanned 2 years reviewing books that could be used in school libraries so I am an avid reader .. I love art, gardening, travel, walking and dining out ( a treat not having to deal with the dishes). Conservation of flora and fauna , exploring our beautiful country, writing, crafting jewellery and making greetings cards, interior decorating, watching ballet ( now too old to perform with elegance), …. these are some of my other passions.
