Have been with my partner 13 years we live 5 minutes from the beach and 5 minutes from the country. I grew up in a sleepy village in Norfolk, spent my twenties in London and 13 years moved North to be close to my Dad as he moved back home after my Mum passed. He is remarried and doing ok. I have an older brother who also moved up here with his wife and son, my newphew has always kept us close I love them to bits.

      When not at work I love being at home my partner and the dogs. We have an avery with budgies and cockatiels and would love to live on a small holding with loads of animals. I love watching football and support Newcastle United. I play darts for a local team on a Tuesday, i enjoy it more than im good at it. I enjoy a drink and will only dance if iv had to many. By nature il do anything for anyone and try to please everyone. I smoke to much eat to much. My partner is a stay at home person so dont get out much. I like to be in control and tend to expect to much from others and end up feeling disapointed.
