Born in Manchester I joined the Royal Navy for ever then Nationwide B/S. Lived in my present house since moving from Hampshire in 1994. I am now retired and isn’t life wonderful.
I a have a wicked sense of humour, I am spontanious, love gardening and enjoy hard physical work, on my terms. I enjoy planning a new garden or part of and buying plants, doesn’t everyone! I am an animal lover but prefer cats than dogs because of their independence. My favourite animals the Elephant, Tiger, Hedgehog and Toad, I have seen only the latter two in my garden. Sportsman enjoyed football, cricket, swimming and squash. I also love gadgets especially computers and camera’s. I love to take photo’s of everything and anything that I can and enjoy editing and framing some of my better efforts.I like loud music from rock to classical and red wine.I also enjoy meeting people and exchanging views, idea’s and discovering where they live.
