SandieH's bio
I am 68 and retired almost 2 years ago. I had been a sociology lecturer in my local university and I loved my job but have to admit to it being a tad stressful. I am interested in national politics, women's issues and my family. I have 2 daughters, one who has a lovely husband and 3 children of her own. She lives about 40 miles away so I don't see them as often as I would like. My afterthought child, born when I was in my late 40s is currently 20 and studying zoology at university. She has just returned to uni after the Easter break. I'm happily single but would love to make new friends. I love cooking, reading for pleasure (after so many years doing work related reading) and arts and crafts. I work voluntarily with people with mental health difficulties where I run a craft group and also a creative writing and poetry group. When I retired I decided to start painting and (think) I'm improving although I'm no Renoir. I use either acrylics or pastels although I did try water colours when I first began. These kinds of activities suit me as my health isn't brilliant. It isn't bad enough to stop me getting out and about though. Originally from Cheshire, I now live in Staffordshire with my 3 cats Bramble, Thistle and Willow.
