I am a gentleman in my fifties living in the Crymlyn Burrows area of Swansea with my 2 friendly little dogs. I have Agoraphobia, Monophobia and Epilepsy. I also have a spinal injury and some hip problems that can affect my mobility. I normally get around on my crutches but at the moment can get tired if I go too far. Getting out can be a bit of a chore to me so I like to do activities that help me to relax such as going to the spa/leisure centre. I will become more mobile physically over time so someone you likes things like walking, bike rides a little gym would be beneficial. I like animals. I also enjoy going to the cinema regularly and theatre just now and then. I’m a practicing Christian and would like to be able to attend church more often. I also would like to be able to visit my mother independently every other week.
