I am here for Friends

About Me

I was born in Scotland and have lived in Australia, with my family, since 1967. We lived in Melbourne until I left to follow my heart and now I live with my Husband and two beautiful daughters in the Northern Territory. This year my husband and I have been together for 21 years and we were blessed with children 11 years ago, both girls, one aged 11 this year and the other will be 9. I love to listen to Jazz music, well almost any type of music really, but I'm not a real big fan of some country music. Before age caught up with me I liked to fill my spare time with sewing, cross-stitch, tapestry and making my own clothes. I enjoy cooking and love to host dinner parties. I enjoy swimming, surfing the net, making friends, writing short stories and generally corresponding with people by way of letter, e-mail or even chatting on line. I also like to write poetry. I belong to a few mothers groups on line were I actively participate, time permitting, with other mothers, swapping family stories, knowledge, advise - given and received. I work full time out of the home within a finance section of a government department, processing data and investigating clients’ compliancy within the taxation area. I'm an open person who speaks their mind, who takes things at face value and is open-minded or at least tries to be. I thoroughly enjoy good conversation, company, food, wine and music and from time to time curling up with a good book.

My Interests

My interests are, digital photography, graphic manipulation, swimming, communications, cross-stitch, writing and poetry. As well as music.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet like minded people, open to communication via e-mail letters etc. My husband works away from home a lot so I hop on here and like to chat with people from all walks of life.

Music:

I thoroughly enjoy listening to Jazz music and relaxation type music. At the moment I'm really into Jamie Cullum, Eran James, Miles Davis and John Coltrane. I love listening to Ella Fizgerald and at presten, taking a journey through the sounds of Nina Simone and Julie London. I also like listening to Diana Krall, Norah Jones, Santana, Carol King to name only a few. And I like to jouney back to the days when all I'd listen to was, James Taylor, CCR, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young or Donovan, Bob Dylan or Ten Years After. I also enjoy listening to folk music, celtic and new age relaxation sounds.

Movies:

I love movies, old ones, musicals, comedy and some action adventure types. I'll watch movies with Sean Connery, Mel Gibson or Dustin Hoffman in them just for the pure pleasure of them as entertainers and carftsman. I enjoy a good laugh and have in recent times enjoyed Kate Hudson, Renee Zelwiger and Diane Keaton. I'm not in to horror or war type movies/films, they are all just a little graphic for me, I like to sleep at night...lol.

Television:

I'm not one for watching the television all that much really. I do watch a few programs with my girls from time to time and I enjoy life style type programs. The odd movie may take my fancy or a comedy show.

Books:

I like to read, most genre of books, but only when I have the time to sit down in a cool corner and get totally lost in the story. Although I must admit I'm not into horror, I do like to sleep at night, peacefully.
