In Her Own Words
About her
These photos are, for the most part, the most recent I have...taken in Spain just before COVID, but the lead photo was taken this year.
I was a teacher but not remotely stuffy. I am slim and curvaceous - if perhaps a little intimidating initially - that's just a façade, I assure you! I am very much a mixture of confident and shy. I'm certainly feminine. I love languages, history, travel, cooking, gardening and interior design. I am artistic and creative. Colour for me is totally erotic. I will rhapsodise about it given half a chance. I have an insatiable curiosity and strong sense of justice which, I suspect, can make me seem a bit argumentative on occasion...I try so hard to see both sides of the question. If this happens just tell me to shut up! I would basically put myself out for anyone but have been looked at very oddly when I offer to drive old ladies, laden with shopping, home from Sainsbury's! I'm O.K. really but may take a bit of getting used to!
About her ideal match
I'm looking for a lively, intelligent, cultured man, who can keep up with me, overtake me or persuade me to slow down. Someone who is not averse to the odd challenge (me!) and who is equally curious and enquiring. A man of culture with imagination and style, assertive yet tolerant and with the usual sense of humour but veering towards off-beat and irreverent. I take great care of myself and appreciate it in someone else.
