I've been told that I am very easy going, kind, caring, thoughtful, considerate and that I have a dry sense of humour. I have a deep love and fascination for all things Scandinavian : the people's attitude to life, the weather, the wilderness in the North, the architecture and their dramas. I enjoy reading, photography, international film, walking with my dog in the countryside and coasts. I support and am involved with Amnesty and also help to maintain the environment where I live through a local organisation. I especially enjoy music, most genres and enjoy adding to my record collection !!
