I am a professional female that works from home, but tend to go out of town fairly regularly (particularly in summer) so you would often have the place to yourself. Very easy going, good sense of humour, social drinker, like to cook and enjoy outdoor pursuits. Generally lead a fairly quiet life. Have lived with partners or roomates most of my adult life, so know how it goes! Am opening up my home as my daughter has left the nest. Have a very friendly, small, elderly Bichon Frise dog with lots of character (hypoallergenic). Sorry, but can’t have any more pets as he doesnt like cats and dont really have capacity for another dog.
