I am a retired teacher, a novelist and a singer-songwriter. I’m happily married, and I have three sons, far too many cats and a dog. It makes for a lively home. I have recently found a love of fountain pens, and in the interest of improving my handwriting and my French, I am looking for friends in France. I’m fairly well travelled, and I fell in love with Normandy over the last year. I am happy to help with your English if you can forgive my amateurish, but improving, French. I love studying and discussing history, but don’t enjoy arguing about contemporary politics.
