I am a single gay man, I live alone with my dog, a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier called Buddy. I love the natural world and walk everyday in the countryside with my dog. I read a lot, fiction and non-fiction. I love all the arts, especially painting & sculpture. I'm easy going and enjoy meeting people and find it easy to talk to strangers. I use my computer but am keen to get back to writing and receiving hand written letters. I love words and word puzzles and games. I'm retired and love my garden. Plants both wild and cultivated are a passion. I'm a spiritual person and attend church.
