Elisabeth

I'm Dutch, fell in love with Australia in 1993 and have lived here ever since. During my last employment I owned a very demanding business for 12 years. I've been taking a much needed break visiting friends in Northern NSW and family/friends overseas in my birthcountry The Netherlands.

I'm new to Orange and want to make a new start here.
I'm flexible, easy to get along with, clean and tidy, generally quiet (also love a chat and a laugh) and young at heart. I've shared houses just about all my life. After my 3 sons had all left the parental home, I found myself living alone with just our cat. Even though living alone has it's advantages, I realised I enjoy living with others. I'm considerate and respectful in regards to shared spaces and privacy.
My home is my haven; a place to enjoy, unwind, relax and to engage with whatever is next in my life. Just like my desexed, well-behaved and friendly cat, I prefer a peaceful environment. My tabby cat is about 5 years old, quiet, mainly keeps to himself and spends a lot of time in his snuggle bed. He does love a pat and cuddle and he especially likes girls/women. He spends some time outside. I don't provide him with a kitty litter and he's fully 'toilet trained'. He doesn't need a cat door either. He also doesn't loose a lot of hair, no extra vaccuum cleaning required and doesn't scratch furniture etc.
Iow, you'll hardly know he's there.

One of my favorite past times is hiking and camping, although I haven't engaged with that for some time.
I have a car and like to go away to visit friends and family.
I want to live in or around Orange, still close to my 3 independent sons.
