I am open minded & open hearted but have developed a love of solitude & the peacefulness that it gives me. I have a small dog who is my companion on my walks in the beautiful countryside where I live. I am highly creative, spending several hours a day playing & composing music, drawing, painting, writing (journaling, poetry & prose) & would value the opportunity to find someone whose shares a collaborative spirit to pursue creativity with. I am now retired & separated but happy. I enjoy, writing, sending & receiving letters. I am keen to reduce time on-line to a minimum, so prefer this format.
