Hi. I am 51 years old and have 3 grown up children and 2 rescue cats. I work in a library and live in The Lake District in the North of England. My hobbies include researching my family history, collecting postcards, reading, gardening, shopping, walking, television and movies. I have recently lost my "get up and go", my "joie de vivre" and am hoping that by connecting with other women from around the world and learning about their countries and culture I can get it back. I am also hoping to restart my dream of travelling again and retire to South West France. Xx
