I'd like very much to make some social contacts with vegans or vegetarians in this part of the South West. (South Hams, Exeter, Plymouth, etc.) I'd like to enjoy some lighthearted, uplifting company as well as having the inevitable conversations about serious issues, which are also important to me. I love the beach in all weathers although I can't bear to be cold for too long! I have varied tastes in music and am open to new pursuits. My Jewish heritage is valuable to me, although I adhere only to the practices that are spiritually and culturally meaningful for me. I'm not needy in regard to friendships (I'm very independent), but I do like people to be sincere and warm.
