Description

Hello, I am a healthy, active 75 year old, self-employed gardener (now retired) looking to spend more time travelling and meeting people. I enjoy being able to use and share my skills. Having owned a few of old Volvo 240’s has allowed me to hone my mechanical skills. Our home is heated exclusively with wood which I cut (with a chainsaw) from our woodlot and split with a maul. I take care of most of our home repairs and I have constructed several outbuildings on our property. We have kept chickens and guinea fowl, though our flock is much depleted now. I love being with and caring for animals. I enjoy hiking, camping and the natural world and would like to spend time in places which can be explored on foot. Recently I have been spending more time on green woodworking, carving spoons and shrink pots and taking classes in chair making. I have done some dry-stone walling.
My career started as a geologist in the oil industry but after several years (and the realization that this was not a path consistent with my hopes and values) I moved over to horticulture.
I was the stay-at-home parent of our daughter and son (now young adults).
