I am a Londoner married to a Yorkshireman and in 2000 moved to West Dorset less than 10 mins from the sea. I do not have any children but do have three cats all of which believe they are in charge - which, of course, they are!.

My garden is clayish, slopes in every direction at the same time, is mainly south facing and 'suffers' from sea-breezes and the odd ministrations of a passing badger. I am definitely a fair weather gardener but enjoy it once I'm out there. I also have a greenhouse which we keep frostfree during the winter. Unfortunately it does not have elastic sides as by mid March it is bursting at the seams!

Happily Retired - and have just started to use my bus pass as OH now has one too.

Gardening; walking (not too far!); eating (hence my size); wildlife watching; simple computer graphic design; winding up OH.

Oh, I've thought of another hobbie ... intimidating RG members into setting and scoring for the Sunday evening quiz.
