Description

Dear Host
I am a woman in my 50's who is married and I have two daughters aged 21 and 17.
I work as a Psychological Therapist in the NHS and in private practice
I live in Warrington in the UK, however my family come from Northern Ireland and I spent most of my life visiting Northern Ireland and I lived in Belfast for 3 years.
I enjoy being outdoors as much as I can, as I spend my job sitting down indoors. Being outdoors and doing things with my hands helps me to manage the emotional toll of my work.
I enjoy spending time with the people I love (family and friends), live music, reading fiction, hill walking and cycling.
I have a greyhound called Molly

What else ...

I work full time and I'm afraid I don't have enough annual leave to offer more than a week to you at this stage. However I am really keen to stay with a host with whom I can learn a little more about gardening and basic DIY projects. I am reliable, hard working and a fast learner and have a good work ethic to offer.
I am also looking forward to spending some more time in Ireland, a country a grew up in and would like to return to spending some more time in
