Mel
I’m an English eccentric, living in beautiful South Wales! I moved here from England in 2017 but don’t know many people, as I’m not remotely a party animal. I am looking for a meeting of minds, I have about as much grasp of popular culture as a high court judge, hate sport, don’t really do social media, and don’t watch tv, although I love radio 4 and (often) radio 2, especially if they play decent music! I’m friendly, kind and and creative, and interested in people. Much of my life is taken up with DIY (of the creative, up-cycled, low budget variety) as I’ve been resurrecting my cottage, which is still an ongoing project! I’m an older parent, and have 2 primary age children, and a small menagerie. Life is chaotic and frequently challenging, but fun, and it would be lovely to meet some like minded, intelligent people, either locally or online. I’m in a long distance relationship and am probably impossible to live with anyway, so looking for friendship, rather than romance.
