I enjoy playing football as well as watching it at home or at a pub. I also enjoy playing card and board games, both at home and at board game events. I have one cat, but she can be in another room if needed.
I also enjoy going to coffee shops and socialising with others over a cup of coffee or tea. I also enjoy writing stories and have written a few.I like to be accompanied to visit different places.
