Recently retired and empty-nester. Immigrated to BC, Canada in 2001 - specifically for the rain. Originally from Yorkshire, UK, and if there could be no sheep there must be rain. Enjoying a bit more travel and exploring new places I've yet to see - in Canada as well as further afield. I enjoy getting physical letters and the act of writing them by hand. I have more fountain pens (vintage and new), inks and paper than is sane. I enjoy dabbling in letterlocking, making my own paper, envelopes and even sealing wax. Always reading and learning new things. Twisted sense of humour: be warned!
