In Her Own Words
About her
I am a warm, intelligent, lively woman.
I am sociable and have many good friends but would really like a partner, in every sense of the word, to share special and ordinary times with, and to care about.
I like to be active and enjoy doing a wide range of things - sporting, (cycling is my favourite at the moment but this seems to change frequently) literary, cultural, foodie - but I'm up for new challenges and I'll have a go at most things to keep you company....learning is a lifelong activity.
I love: eating out ; any live theatre; the cinema; literary festivals, art exhibitions, walking; sailing, dancing, car boot sales, NT properties (especially the tea rooms!). I get great pleasure from singing in a choir and from music events.
I love to travel in the UK and abroad - more of an activity or exploration type holiday-maker rather than a sitting on a beach person, but I can while away a few hours by the pool with a good book before my itchy feet get me up again. I hope to travel more when I find the right person to do it with. While travel is nice, I'm equally happy spending time in the beautiful countryside where I live - it's who I'm with rather than where I am that's important. With the right person, every day can be an adventure. (I may be pushing it a bit there... but you get the idea!)
I also enjoy the smaller pleasures of life - reading a good book in a hot bath or in my hammock in the garden takes a lot of beating .
My ideal evening is a meal in or out in the company of close friends - talking and discussing life, laughing, playing silly games etc, but I'd like to have a special partner alongside me who also comes home with me.
Having got my 3 lovely children (you always have to say they're lovely don't you!) to the point of independence and all having left home, I am facing the exciting prospect of having more time for myself and really want to find someone fun, kind and interesting to share the next stage with. Shall we give it a go?
About her ideal match
I would like to meet someone who is educated, articulate and emotionally intelligent who has had some success in their own field - whatever that may be - and however they choose to measure that, and who is confident in their abilities and reasonably satisfied with life in general.
I appreciate a man who is physically active and takes care of his health and appearance as an indication that he values himself.
Ideally he would be somewhat out-going and sociable and he will have acquired some lasting friends of his own who he will value.
I will listen to my partner and be genuinely interested in him and what he has to say and I assume he will reciprocate: to listen, show a genuine interest, empathize and communicate about feelings and emotions - both his own and mine.
A sense of humour is an absolute must - not least because wit is a sign of intelligence.
Conventional good looks are not so important, but I must like the look of him. I think you can tell a lot about personality by the way a person's face has matured!!
Finally, he should be able to show kindness and affection as well as attraction.
So.......not fussy at all???!
