I am a retired headmistress and although I still do some teaching have time to follow my pursuits. I hike, horseride, ski in winter and travel all over the world when I get the opportunity. I love meeting people from all walks of life and in different countries. I am very keen on wildlife, and animals ( especially cats and horses). In my spare time, I read, write and take photographs. When the weather is good I garden. I love Scotland but have travelled widely since I was 16. I have three daughters, one who is married and living in the USA.
