I like art, literature, going to the theatre, listening to music and reading. I like singing and playing the piano, on my own or in a group. I am outgoing but have to recharge my batteries after socialising. I am a loyal friend and support and defend my nearest and dearest fiercely. I love learning new languages - I speak English, French and Italian, and am currently learning German, which is a new challenge for me. I am a keen cook and love reading recipes from around the world - cuisine is an important part of any culture!
