Hi all, and thanks for the welcome.

I'm married (coming up 20 years) have a son, shortly to leave for college, and have lived in Italy since '81, so about half my life (work it out )

Ex dance teacher, I am a housewife now, can sometimes be heard talking to the wall/random rocks or, more frequently, to the cat.

I paint and make jewellery mostly, and I loathe ironing to the point of obsession.
