I have lots of interests, but I love walking with my Jack Russell terrier, Woody, most of all. He gets me up in the morning and sometimes that's crucial. I enjoy reading and have a great love of history, particularly English medieval and Tudor periods. I prefer to be outdoors enjoying nature. I have become more philosophical with age. I have travelled a lot in the past but have no desire to travel to far and distant places, preferring to spend time exploring my own country and Europe. I'm learning Spanish and hope to visit Spain soon.
