Travel (well, not so much now as I get older and am beginning to feel the stress more than the wonder of it), reading, cycling (same comment as for travel), current affairs.
Biography
Almost 60 years of age and beginning to feel it! Have done a lot of travelling and reading and would like to make such experience as I have of life available to any younger people who might be interested. My current 'occupation' is childminding within my extended family and much of my working day is spent marvelling at the way a two-year-old boy is developing, especially in language.
