bluebird7 (65) from Surrey

I'm a contented person who enjoys good company. As a hobby I paint in oils/acrylics/wax/watercolour/pastels, love gardening, and also play keyboards. I enjoy a wide range of music from 'oldtime' to 'soul'. Music is an important part of my life. I'm semi-retired now, but still work occasionally as I find it helps to keep my brain active. I share my own home in Surrey with my cat 'Lucy', who is almost 18 years old now, and extremely bossy! I'm fond of most animals, and am familiar with country life.

I'm considered down to earth and live in the real world. My friends tell me I have a good sense of humour, am kind and considerate, and am a good friend. I enjoy the simple things in life, good conversation and intelligent debate, but nothing too heavy. If I have to be serious, that’s OK, but I love to laugh, and with the right people I can be quite silly, spontaneous, irrational and romantic. I detest people who play with other people’s emotions, as I know how much it can hurt.

I'm not necessarily looking for a partner, as I haven't dated since my last relationship ended around 2002, not saying that a relationship is out of the question, of course...... but it would be nice to find friends on here with similar interests to mine.
