I am very recently retired and now enjoy study, volunteering, penpalling and hobbies which help me lead a vibrant life filled with purpose and creativity. I love reading, listening to audiobooks and podcasts. Music is important to me too. My passion for crafts, from weaving to knitting and crochet, is matched by my love for gardening, where I cultivate vegetables, fruit, and flowers at my allotment. As an active member of the local country market, I sell handmade crafts and my own preserves. With a lifelong love for countryside walks. I cherish nature and the joy of being outside.
