Looking for mature share with over 50s

71 year old retiree looking for a quiet and calm flat or house share so I can be near my children, having recently returned to the UK after living abroad for several years. I am an environmentalist and a poet. I am looking for housemates that I can share wisdom and have good intellectual conversations with. I am clean and tidy and pride myself on being welcoming, polite and charming. I enjoy walking, reading and cooking.

I am aware that my budget may be below most room offer prices. With a long history working with literature (from creative writing and poetry to corporate / policy documents) I am willing to do administrative work such as proofreading, copywriting and editorial support for a reduced rent. If you have other suggestions of services I could offer for a reduced, I am willing to consider.
