I enjoy travelling and used to do so with my two daughters, but it&#8217;s not convenient now as they have their own agenda although they do try to spend as much time as they can with me. I also enjoy dancing a little, especially social dancing, but there again, I need a partner. Anyone interested?<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"emoticon\" alt=\"emoticon\" src=\"https:\/\/silverhairsclub.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/Wysi-Wordpress\/plugins\/emotions\/images\/jittery.gif\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What do I teach? English and Phonics. English to primary and secondary school kids and phonics to little kiddies in a phonics centre.<\/p>\n<p>Where have I travelled to? I&#8217;ve been to Australia, India, France, The Philippines, Japan, Thailand mostly on conducted tours, West Malaysia, Bali, Bintan, Batam on short relaxing trips but the place I have been to the most frequently is New Zealand. I started off on conducted tours, both North and South Islands and later, free and easy when I got to know the place better. I would love to visit China and Europe as well as some places in the US, especially Hawaii and to go on a cruise some day. Oh yes, I haven&#8217;t been on a real cruise yet!<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"emoticon\" alt=\"emoticon\" src=\"https:\/\/silverhairsclub.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/Wysi-Wordpress\/plugins\/emotions\/images\/rolleyes.gif\" border=\"0\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>I only learnt to swim and cycle in my forties and to dance (line dance) in my fifties. Talking about late bloomers,&nbsp;Up till then,I had been too busy taking care of the family, bringing up my girls and teaching and the free time I had was spent on sedate activities, like craftwork of which I have lots of evidence of , all in storage now.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hopefully one day they will be appreciated, that is if they are still in good condition by then.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I better keep this short or you might lose interest in my rambling. I hope to get some response. Then I can begin to make some new friends. Write soon,<\/p>\n<p>Have a great day!<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"emoticon\" alt=\"emoticon\" src=\"https:\/\/silverhairsclub.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/Wysi-Wordpress\/plugins\/emotions\/images\/clap.gif\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everybody, I&#8217;m Mary, in my fifties.
