Putney is a great neighbourhood. It has a safe village vibe even though it is only 15 minutes by train or tube from central London and a little more by bus from most of the popular London sights. <br /><br />The great thing about this location is the proximity to large green spaces, parks and the River Thames. There are great walking, running and cycle tracks and Richmond Park is just 20 minutes away.<br /><br />If you set out early you can even catch a river boat, a 5 minute walk away, that will take you all the way to the Tower of London or Greenwich in the other direction; Wimbledon, for the tennis, is a 10 minute tube ride away.<br /><br />The world-famous Oxford and Cambridge boat race starts on the Putney side of the River Thames which is only a 2 minute walk away. The race was cancelled in 2020 due to covid but hopefully it will be back in 2021 featuring the men's AND women's teams and runs over the Easter week-end; during that weekend Putney is a great place to be. <br /><br />
I have lived and worked in eight very different countries from the depths of Borneo to the remote Island of St Helena, bang in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean and without an airport. I am used to moving home and when I travel I always bring music and once I carried books but now it is a kindle. 

I enjoy photography, good food, and wherever I am I try to make time to run. I am independent, but enjoy good conversations over a glass of wine. I love cinema, theatre and I get pleasure from walking on the beach, strolling through woods, climbing mountains, exploring rain forests and learning about different histories and cultures. 

I have two grandsons who I hope I will take travelling one day. I travel light and still feel there is room in my life for discovery and adventure. When I return to my lovely home in London I intend to make a room so I too can be a host on Airbnb, meantime I hope my current Airbnb experiences will give me inspiration and ideas for being a great host; a wonderful alternative to the anonymity of hotels.
