Please note: I will be out of town from May 24 - May 31 inclusive and unable to sign in. One of my philosophies of life comes from a great poem by Rudyard Kipling titled "If"
(I'm not going to put the whole thing here - it's a great poem, you can probably find it on the internet).
The line I really like is this: "If you can fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run, then yours is the world, and everything in it..."
That's me- filling each minute with 60 seconds
I'm looking for someone to share the adventure of life. I enjoy learning new things - I taking courses at night in history (one of my interests). I love to travel and enjoy discussing travel exploits. I've been to many parts of Europe, Caribbean and Africa. I love the adventure of going to a brand new place!
I own my own home and enjoy looking after it (I also have a large garden which I like to putter around in). I have pets : 2 dachshunds and 2 cats. They're not my life or anything (basically the cats were left behind when the kids moved out...) but they are a part of the household.
I love the great outdoors (more in the summmer than the winter...!) - I like to camp, go for walks, that sort of thing. I also like movies (action flicks, quite frankly - the more stuff blowing up, the better!). I'm not a big sports fan, except for rugby which I have just discovered, and I really enjoy watching that.
I'm hoping to meet someone who might share any of these interests, or might have a new interest to share with me. I am very curious about life and people and I am looking for someone to share this time with.
(love these emoticons...!) Hope to hear from you....

I would like to go somewhere where we could talk and get to know each other. The activity is not important - could be a drink at a cafe watching people go by - The important thing is getting to know people, and sharing interests.
