I am a retired teacher of History who had the opportunity to live in France from 2003 for 11 years. My main interests are listed in my Profile but I also enjoy learning about other people's enthusiasms! Hobbies include Creative Writing: short stories/poetry and I have self-published 3 novels set in the Victorian period, 2 novels with split time periods, short story collections, novelettes etc. I enjoy a weekly exercise class and 2 different singing activities in choirs.
