Retired gay male seeks rooms or own flat.

I am a newly retired gay man, looking for spacious rooms in an LGBTQ friendly shared house, or preferably in a self-contained annexe or separate house or flat. I am quiet and friendly and have a lively but very affectionate Irish Terrier who loves long walks! My interests include animals, nature and walking and I enjoy cooking, gardening, travelling, exploring historic places, reading, music and socialising with friends, etc, etc. I am looking for spacious accommodation including a small garden area or patio where I can relax with my dog!
I can be flexible about living arrangements and whether fully or partly furnished. Most of all, I'm looking for a long term arrangement for security and peace of mind - and as I don't drive, I need somewhere close to public transport and preferably within walking distance of other amenities.
