A little bit about me...
Hi, my name is Lorraine and I am 81 going on 35, because that sounds a good age to be when I could do all the things that I can't do now. I'm on oxygen 24/7 so that limits quite a lot of doing things I liked to do eg gardening, cooking, working in various volunteer organisations such as CAB, Family Budgetting Service, Coastgaurd search and rescue, travelling with my husband who passed away just over 3 years ago. We were dairy farmers most of our working life. I have a Bible study group at home and a Rummikub morning with friends and they are mostly as far as my social contact goes. So anyone interested in doing either would be most welcome. Chow email mandlryan@kinect.co.nz or phone 075793897.
