I am a very happily married woman, who loves the outdoors, and walking my standard and toy poodles in the forest and mountains- (I have two toy poodles, and two standard poodles) I also have a very chatty African Grey parrot. I adore dogs and parrots! I love to swim, I enjoy travel, finding that the best part of travel is meeting new people and getting out of my environment. I always have a book on the go, either audible or hardcopy. Swimming makes me happy! Baking is a passion of mine as well as history, especially British history. Collect Steiff and other teddy bears the older the better
