In Her Own Words
About her
I am a slim, elegant, stylish woman with a successful career. My interests are varied and I enjoy doing things with others as well as more solitary pursuits. I regularly meet friends for dinner and love good food and conversation, excellent gossip and having raucous fun over a glass or two of wine or Prosecco. I enjoy going to the cinema (I am a member of the Broadway cinema in Nottingham) and to watch plays, dance and opera in the theatre.
Over the last couple of years I have revamped my garden and am now in the process of planting it up and growing some vegetables. It's amazing how evangelical one can get about growing tomatoes, courgettes and lettuce - it obviously comes from having a desk job and dreaming about the good life particularly when the sun is shining. I enjoy cooking but with a great deal more enthusiasm than expertise. I read a lot of contemporary novels and have been to the Hay Literary Festival nearly every year since it started.
I like to keep fit but am not really a gym-bunny so I swim, do a yoga class, garden and really enjoy walking. My New Years resolution is to buy a bike and start cycling again. I am currently working my way through the walks in the Pathfinder Guide to the Peak District. Last summer I went to the Lake District for the first time and walked/scrambled up Helvellyn; hard work but the views were spectacular. I went on a walking holiday in October to the Picos mountains in Spain; it was rated as challenging and I really enjoyed the walking and scrambling and the sense of achievement at the end of every day.
My work involves some travel. Last year I went to Hong Kong (which I loved), China (not so keen) and Singapore (marvellous). I also spent a week in San Francisco on a management course and managed to see quite a bit of the city in between sessions. I also love Europe and went to Spain and France with friends over the summer.
Last but definitely not least, I have a lovely family spread across the country whom I see regularly.

You must be sociable and enjoy going out, cultured, stylish, physically active, able to have a good conversation, loyal, good fun, able to spoil me and be spoilt in return and committed to friends and family.
