Description
We are an active couple in our early 70's. Originally from Argentina, we have lived in England for over 40 years. Jorge, has just retired as a Professor in Bio-Medical Sciences. He is a keen cyclist and gardener. I am a retired Clinical Psychologist, still working part time as a Psychotherapist and Psychoanalyst. We are very involved in the care of our two grandchildren. We love hiking, yoga and, living in London, it is impossible not to love the arts! The oldest independent cinema in London is 10' walk from our house.
