I am retired after a career in the public sector. I am single and live with family and my 2 dogs. I live a fairly quiet life. I walk my dogs every day and swim a couple of times a week. I enjoy reading and surfing the internet. I like to write fiction and poetry. I watch a lot of TV, mainly documentary type programmes. I have an interest in politics and current affairs. I am a good listener and am compassionate and sensitive to the needs of others. I have an interest in religion and different aspects of spirituality.
