About Me

- Happily married for over 23 years, I have 3 kids (22, 20 & nearly 18) I love this stage in my life, with the family growing up and gaining independence, I have a new freedom. - I live on a property and am in the process of developing a huge garden, which I'd one day like to open to the public (have many years to go before this will be ready - our shade trees are all still smaller than we are). - I love to sing and I used to sing with a Sweet Adeline's woman's chorus. Recently I joined a choir, singing the kinds of songs I grew up with when a member of a choir in Sydney. _ I began Speech and drama lessons 4 years ago, mainly to help me gain confidence (no I'm not an aspiring actress). It's been a worthwhile commitment - I've been rearching my family tree and have been very succesful at connecting with others doing the same families. This year I'm connecting up with my Dutch cousins on the net - learning more about my living relatives (much more exciting).If you have Auusie Steele's, Delaney's, or Powers in your family or your a descendant of Frederick Meredith. Most are from the Sydney area, the Steele's come from the Newcastle, NSW area.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Nice people who are happy to expand their minds and share a little happiness around.

A new journey truly begins

I'll be heading off overseas in only a weeks time now. But the journey I'm talking about is more one that will be taking place within me rather than what's surrounding me. All my life I've wanted to k...
