About Me
Drawn back to this site for a second time - just naturally curious about other people and the lives they lead, or perhaps just nosey. I'm broad-minded, gentle, left of centre politically. I like absurdity, silliness and kindness. I was learning French but seem to have let that slip the last couple of years as I'm studying once more in a haphazard sort of way. I'd like a few snail mail friends really as I just love to get a letter - well, who doesn't?
Requests
A lovely letter from time to time - I'm not the quickest off the mark with responding but given that everything else moves so fast, perhaps it's good to ponder a little and take our time over some things. Especially if I should try to write to you in French but that would be good too :)
If the only thing you're looking for is a flirtation, I won't knock you for that but there are plenty of other places you can look.
I'm thinking of trying Skype for language exchange - French primarily - but haven't taken the plunge yet.

Language Exchange Requests
French mostly although my German is so poor it's embarrassing so if I feel brave, that too.
