I am a happily married mum of 2 wonderful boys aged 18 and 19. I work as a teacher of English at a secondary school and I truly enjoy it (still? :) )! I've got lots of interests such as travelling, books, films, nature, animals, languages, gardening, meeting people etc

I am only looking for regular snail mail female penpals around my age who enjoy writing long letters.I still handwrite my letters, but I don't mind typed ones if they are personal. I am also looking for penpals who would like to write in Spanish and Russian.
I don't answer 'Hello, how are you' messages.

Travelling, music, books, nature, hiking, gardening, photography, languages, animals.

Depeche Mode, George Michael, Sting, Simply Red, Sade, Queen, Talk Talk, Vangelis, smooth jazz etc
