About Me
My name is Samantha Goodwin. So here's a little about who I am, and what I love...
Born in Manchester. Grew up in a small village in Hampshire. Failed Computer Science at the University of Edinburgh, but met my husband Tim there which made it all worth while!
Did a bit of Archery.
Worked for a fund management company in Edinburgh, and then in Luxembourg, before escaping corportate life to move to the Algarve.
I love movies, but often fall asleep before the end. I love dairy even if my body doesn't. I love walking my dogs on the beach in the morning, even in the rain. I love to dance. And of course I love my husband, my family, my dogs, and the friends I am so grateful to have.
Don't wait for 'the right time' - it may never come.
