i am a retired teacher of French and English. I live with my husband in a beautiful area of southern England called the New Forest not far from the sea. I love to walk my Border terrier dog in the Forest. His name is Huckleberry and such a wonderful companion. I have two grown up sons and my husband and I love family occasions with them. I love too to read novels, photography, my drama class, speaking French and learning Italian. I am sociable and often meet a friend for coffee. I like the theatre and love foreign films. I enjoy very much hearing about other people's lives and culture.
