Hi Rowantree,
I'm in central Bromley so pretty close. I used to live in Shirley.
Have many interests like you a bit arty farty :-) love making silver jewellery painting too but thats a bit hit and miss at the moment but will have more time in the not too distant future. Son, partner and grandaughter living with me at the moment, shortly to move into their lovely house which my Son has spent the last year or so doing up.
Love just getting in the car a driving off and see where I end up. Not one for the gym, have bought a tennis recket but not quite ventured onto a court. Swimming, country walks etc.
You seem to have a varied taste in music, I like most with perhaps the exception of blues and currently into Caro Emerald because I just love that French tone to some of her stuff. Infact I love pretty much everything about France.
Oh and been foraging recently - well elderflowers to be precise as my son and I are going to have a go at Mary Berrys elderflower cordial :-) Do you like Hugh Fernley Whittinshall? I love "proper" food and "proper" cooking, not one for ready made meals :-)
