I enjoy my life and try always to be positive, no matter what happens, and feel that every experience in my life has helped to make me the person I am today. I love to laugh and have fun and like people who have a sense of humor. I have been an organic farmer, a counselor, and currently
work with young people with special needs, and provide two rooms in my home for them during college time. I like my home to be as warm, relaxing and inviting as possible and love people to feel at home. I have an elderly staffy who takes me out for walks in local green areas.
I have many interests, especially gardening - I have a small semi wild garden as well as an allotment, being in natural places, walking, films, music, and reading a wide range of books, from thrillers to philosophy. I sometimes enjoy painting, drawing and photography. I love relaxing holidays anywhere, but I also like going off the beaten track and having adventures.
Although I am quite a practical and grounded person I am also an astrologer and love to draw up charts for friends and family, and also to read the Tarot. I like helping people who are struggling with life issues to help find the way forward. I have many Pagan friends and love to celebrate the turning points of the year. I am open to spirituality, especially a Buddhist approach to life, but struggle to meditate unless in a group. However, I live with a sense of gratitude for my life, and try to practice kindness to others. I have a very simple philosophy that I will avoid doing harm in the world, and if possible will try to do good.
I have a desire to move back to Scotland at some point, where I have family and friends, and have lived much of my life.I would love a simple lifestyle in the country with a piece of land, somewhere near the sea.
I am happy in my own company and am open minded when it comes to relationships. would be happy with some new friendship and shared interests but would be open to going deeper if the chance arose. I am not searching for love, but feel it might find me at some point. I am a very caring person and would not hurt anyone, I like to think I have integrity, honesty and openness. I have been married in the past and have grown up family, all of which have brought joy and richness into my life.
I am quite fit and slim and have the good fortune to be very healthy. We seem to have good genes in my family and live to a ripe old age so I do still feel very youthful.
So far I have updated my profile at least 6 times and it seems to be evolving so watch this space!
