I'm a kind person and I appreciate kindness in others. I lean towards being introverted, needing quiet time to recharge, but I do enjoy going out for coffee and dog walks when I'm able. I love all dogs, but my dog Bertie is the best dog of all. I enjoy puzzles and crafts. I cope best with routine and will need someone who understands this. I like reading fiction especially historical mysteries and detective stories. I also like Snoopy and cheese flavoured crisps.
