CURRENT MISSION

My objective is to have fun each and every day.

ABOUT ME

I live with my partner. I have four grown children who are in Brisbane, Queensland. They are two-and a half hours by aeroplane from me. I have a little maltese-shitzu dog. I am a quiet person by nature. Observing people is one of my favourite pasttimes. I enjoy going out for coffee with friends. As I am relatively new to Adelaide (been here for 18 months)I love to go for drives to get to know Adelaide and South Australia. Trying out different restaurants is fun. Meeting new people is very interesting to me.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is "to live and let live". I am open-minded to others - their lifestyles and their beliefs. I may not necessarily agree with them, but I will respect their opinions. Likewise, I expect people to respect my lifestyle and beliefs. Family and friendships are very important to me. I adore my family and feel very connected to them even though we live a long way from each other. We are in contact every day. Closeness and connection underpin my relationships.
