I am a woman who lives in Castle Douglas. I enjoy arts and crafts and reading. During my day I will usually spend some time doing one of the above. I also attend an online art class on a Wednesday afternoon. My interests are also current affairs and politics.

I have severe hearing loss so would like to be spoken to clearly, so I fully understand. I have well managed Type 1 diabetes this means that I must count my carbohydrates at every meal to ensure my bloods remain stable. I also have reduced mobility, so I am looking for a PA to support me to live the way I want to.
