I am married and have three grown up children who all live in the U.K. I have been living in Riyadh for four years now. I like socialising with my friends, Cultural visits, Embassy parties and concerts, Raising money for local charities and meeting people from around the world. I have two cats which I adore and a compound cat that visits for food. I enjoy making character cakes for special occasions. I like cooking and experimenting with the local ingredients and practise on my poor husband. I am learning Arabic. I do cross stitch, practise my calligraphy, do aerobics, like pool and darts. I swim and would like to learn diving. My Husband and I are keen board games players (not Monopoly). I like shopping and love the sales here but it drives me crazy that there are hardly any ladies changing rooms. One thing I am not, is bored.
