In Her Own Words
About her
My background is Greek - Cypriot parents but born in London.Growing up I've been influenced by two cultures which have coloured my personality so I am a bit different!
I think my friends would describe me as quite quirky, open, honest, and friendly.I’m a loyal friend and expect the same from my friends and I’m straight talking, which can get me into trouble! I do have a sense of humour though and love to laugh.
After a great career in Finance I'm now looking forward to the next stage of my life. I have three grown up children and four grandchildren;they are my greatest achievement, we are very close and I see them regularly.
I love all types of music, depending on my mood, my tastes vary from Dylan to Mozart. I love the opera, concerts and the theatre and enjoy dining out and cooking.
My passion is psychology, I'm fascinated with the human mind and want to learn more on this subject. If I had my time again this is the career I would have chosen rather than accountancy!
I like to travel and am interested in other cultures, especially keen to explore Africa. I’ve been on a few wine tours and have visited Argentinian and South African vineyards. It’s a fun and relaxing way to travel. I also enjoy yoga, dance and long walks. I just love nature.
Despite some rocky times I remain positive and optimistic! Following Mr Micawber’s principle “something will turn up”!
About her ideal match
I would like to meet someone that is still passionate about life. Fun loving, warm and spontaneous. He would have to be kind and neither rude nor racist.
I 'd like to meet an intelligent guy who I can learn from and who has many interests, likes to travel and is still quite active.
Family is important to me so he would have to share similar values to me.
Chemistry is a must for me ( after all I am a Scorpio!) and of course friendship and common interests.
