I am generally of a happy disposition, I like social gatherings of family and friends and entertaining. When weather permits I am in the garden or in foul weather I like to sit in front of the fire with a good book or watch a good movie or documentaries or listen to music. I enjoy traveling and meeting new people. Am an early riser so walking is a must.I am friendly and helpful and I like to volunteer when possible. I am not interested in gossip, celebrities or extreme politics. I am recently retired and am looking forward to making some genuine, long-lasting penpals from around the globe.
