I grew up in England(Birmingham and London). I am a retired school-teacher living in the South of Germany. I enjoy my beautiful surroundings and have many interests - reading, art, photography, singing, foreign languages, gardening. I am fun-loving but outwardly more reserved.I have one daughter and three lovely grandchildren living in Berlin. Besides regular visits to England, I have travelled extensively in Europe and the USA. My most exciting holiday was in China two years ago.
