I’m single since 2002, aged 65 in July. I have 3 daughters and 5 grandchildren. Divorced after a twenty-year marriage, I live alone by choice (yes, with cats, but only 2 and not crazy). I’ve worked full time for nearly 50 years and I’m now transitioning to retirement.  I’m busy clearing clutter and letting go of what I don’t need and won’t fit in my new smaller home. I love to travel and in 2013 wrote travel blogs for SAS during a 6 week trip to Dubai, London, France and Spain.
