I am here for Friends

About Me

You don't need to know my age, age is just a number and I feel privileged and I am grateful for every day that's given to me. My brother has been researching our family history and apparently my ancestry is Scottish (father's side) and Irish (mother's side) although for the last 200 years my paternal line has lived in Yorkshire. My first passion is travelling. To date, I've been to Japan (for 6 months), Australia, USA and many places in Europe, UK and the Republic of Ireland. If I had to choose my favourite place, at the moment I'd have to say Swedish Lapland because that was a true adventure(Ice Hotel, sled dogs, snowmobiles, Northern Lights). I work full time, have two dogs and a goldfish. I love the freedom my car gives me and have a spirit of adventure but still fairly cautious, certainly not reckless. I am a free spirit who loves evening and early morning twilight and can be emotionally moved by beautiful scenery or a firey sunset. On the other hand I can be quite a tough nut to crack, it's the Yorkshire spirit I think. I am something of a gadget freak, anything unusual and I'm hooked. My interests are varied because I find change and the unknown exciting. I am a member of Mensa with an IQ of 150 but sometimes it can be difficult to believe because I often think with my heart instead of my brain.The Beauty of the Universe ..

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I warm to people who, like me, consider life is to be lived and does not simply want to be a spectator. I like positive people who take a genuine interest in others, likes to laugh (a lot) and who don't take themselves TOO seriously. I am affectionate to people I care about but I can be a little 'closed' with people until I feel I know them well enough. I believe strongly in loyalty and honesty and I respect people who speak their mind, as long as they try to be tactful. I really enjoy being around people who have a real passion for something, because when they speak their enthusiasm and fire is infectious. I believe people come into our lives for either a reason, a season or a lifetime. I'm grateful for those who have come into mine, whatever the length of time they stay in it.
