About Me

I'm an Irish girl in Liege....thanks for the line Sting! My first priority in life is my son, who's 14 at the moment, and who I hardly ever see these days cos he's got such a hectic social life...good on him! But when I do, we're good together. I teach English here and love it...the kids are so enthusiastic! I love music...such an eclectic taste...easy to please in a way I suppose. I love a good laugh! About anything! I would love to have another dog but my life doesn't permit it at the moment...my favourite was Rafferty, the flatcoat retriever. If I could do anything I wanted in life, it would be travelling, anywhere and everywhere, very often. I have family and friends all over the globe and am so frustrated that I can't go to see them all regularly. My ambition is to move to New Zealand in the next few years...it's such a wonderful place to live. So if I won the lottery, I guess I could do what I wanted, but life is so much more interesting when you're broke...isn't it NOT!

My Interests

Where to start....my son, of course, travelling, music, drawing and painting, calligraphy, swimming, reading, cycling, kayaking, sewing, etc...

I'd like to meet:

Nice people...my friends and family...that's about it!
