I am friendly and love getting to know new people. I am the matriarch of a big family - 4 sons and 1 daughter - all married and most with children. There are oodles of grandchildren and even great-grandchildren! My passions are books, knitting and cardmaking, cooking, family history and the environment. I am also active in my church as the librarian (of quite a large library) and one of the youth mentors. I was born in the UK and emigrated to Australia in 1981. We live in a beautiful part of the world.
