I am an active member of our condominium board of directors. I enjoy volunteering at the nearby London Public Library and the adjacent Wolf Performance Centre.
I enjoy all kinds of crafting and making and current busy using up my stash of yarn.
I live in the Woodfield Historical district of London with local transit options such as bus and train being steps away. London has an international airport and the airports in Toronto and Detroit are each two hours away.
