I'm into the outdoors, gardening, cycling, canoeing, mountains. I have two wonderful grown up daughters, I play guitar and enjoy meeting new people, and can show you around my part of England (the Lake District) if I have time. I hope to make some trips myself. I've lived in a few different countries and done a variety of different jobs in the past, teaching art, running a pottery business, carpentry. I have also hosted Refugees for short periods of time.

Cockermouth is an attractive market town near the western Lake District
