Reading, walking

I am  complete bookworm and read a lot. Frankly, reading a good book is more interesting than human company. Reading is the basis for successful study. I encourage children to read, read. I enjoy a wide variety of genres and am never without a book in my handbag.


Walking:  I go walking once or twice a day for health and companionship with my husband.
