To avoid too much work I will cut and paste by Bio: "I am a retired senior railway manager living in North Essex. I have an engineering degree and am a Chartered Engineer but am now enjoying my retirement and not getting up early to commute to London anymore. I enjoy live music, both good contemporary and classical. I spent a lot of time in my career travelling including living happily abroad for 10 years and this made me realise what a beautiful country we are blessed with. I still like to travel (but when I want and strictly for pleasure) and I particularly like long train journeys. I enjoy doing voluntary work - at the moment in a COVID vaccination centre and would like maybe to do other voluntary activities later. I have three sons of whom I am extremely proud. I am a sociable person and like good food and drink in the company of family and friends." Is there anyone out there in the North Essex area (say Saffron Walden, Bishops Stortford, Cambridge areas?
