loves to be with genuine people. Not religous to a fault. Hates liars and loathes people who talk too much about themselves. Am moved by simplicity and care. Admire Richard Branson. Swimming, spending time at the beach, window shopping, reading books stretched out in a chair with some good whisky on the rocks.
