Places I've been

Houghton Regis (Hometown), I grew up in a small village in Bedfordshire England and I spent a lot of my childhood on and around my friends farm. The village I lived in was a farming community. It changed a lot over the years I was lucky to live there when it was unspoilt. I helped with the animals and harvest. When I left school I began work just after my 15th birthday. School was very much different then and we learned a complete all rounded curriculum. I went to work as an office junior and learned to "key punch" so most of my working life was involved with computers. Things sure changed fast in that field. I ended in banking still working with computers. When I was 15 a computer took up a whole room and we could not imagine why or how anyone would want a home computer.......just goes to show

Espirit......that stands for English Spirit

I am retired, sort of...I watch my nieces two small children. I retired after 21 years of banking. I love to write to people especially in other countries. I am English originally and now live in Michigan. I enjoy many crafts and enjoy nature. I have three poodles, a cat and a horse who is now 41 and retired. I love the outdoors and although I still miss England I love northern Michigan. I hope to make new friends and be able to talk about things of interest

I enjoy watching movies and would rather do that than watch TV,

My favorite flowers are bluebells and violets. Spring flowers are lovely as well, I really enjoy the garden and have been interested in gardening since my Dad let me have a small plot in his garden. I used to walk in the fields and woods as a child and look for violets and cowslips in the Springtime.

I love fantasy, things like fairies intrigue me. Legends and mythology make me want to explore possibilities

I also love history, English especially and Native American.
