| Occupation | Retired! |
| Location | Beckton, East London, United Kingdom |
| Introduction | I retired on medical grounds from a very satisfying job over a year ago - but I seem to be busier than ever. I try to watch a film a week, I joined U3A, do so much reading (I belong to three reading groups) go to the theatre regularly and love living in East London. I know everyone thinks it is violent and dangerous but I love the diversity and the variety. My one regret - I live on the third floor, and I can't keep a cat. Love the radio. Do leave me a message! |
