Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.

About Me

My name is Alison, I am 31 years old and live near Manchester, England. I currently work with children which is a great job but hard work. I really love my work and love children. They keep me on my toes and I could write a book of the things they say and do. I think it is the best job in the world even though I also think it is the hardest.I also enjoy reading, watching TV and meeting up with my friends and am a huge rugby fan.

My Interests

Watching rugby, seeing friends, watching TV, reading, listening to music, watching movies, travelling.

I'd like to meet:

Any of the England or Sale Sharks rugby teams, Jonny was, Garth Brooks, Paul McCartney, Stuart Sutcliffe, Cesar Manrique, Texture, Keith Walker.
