  I am a 68-year-old male, who enjoys getting out-and-about most days in my car, so it is essential to me that you are a driver. I like to get out each day for a meal out and a nice drive to the beach/country etc. I like to go to the cinema; I am very chatty and enjoy talking about politics, the royal family and the weather. I need minimum support with my personal care each morning for my shower.
