Now retired and an avid poet and animal lover, conservationist, with a sense of humour - who can't abide people who are cruel to animals or kids. Hate injustice of any kind, love chocolate, hate pina colados.

Would like to travel but have two dogs that I won't leave. Friends in Dannyvirke have asked me over there...one day perhaps.

Live in beautiful Ipswich in Queensland Australia where the 2011 floods missed me by 30 feet - this time.

Life is good and I am a glass half full type of person. Love my family and treasure my friends.

The best time of my life was being a grazier on a sheep property - but alas it was to short lived a period of time due to circumstances - I was as happy as a pig in the proverbial surrounded by animals. Sheep, horses, chooks, dogs...I was in 7th heaven, for a short while.

Enjoy discussions on many subjects, dislike arguments but won't back down if the cause is just.

That should be enough I reckon - Life is not all about me. My life is about my two girls...Mahalia a Border Collie/Blue Heeler aka Molly and Ellyssa Maree my Jack Russell/Staffy aka Elly...both were abused girls but now they are very much loved girls whe make me happy every day, for which I thank them.

Cheers

Maureen
