In Her Own Words
About her
I would say I'm honest, reliable, philosophical, with a sense of humour and don't take life too seriously. My family and friends are very important people in my life, and some friends I've had for many years so I guess I'm quite a loyal person. I think I'm an open minded person who likes to engage with different perspectives even if I don't necessarily agree with them. How else are you meant to learn as you get older? I try to be optimistic and positive in most things and I'm a pretty patient and understanding person. These qualities are pretty much essential considering the challenges you face in life and the nature of my work, without these I would probably go or have gone mad years ago!
Having fun in life and with the people closest to me is really important, from drinking wine [white] going to the theatre particularly fringe theatre, cinema, I enjoy foreign films, going out for dinner, I really like good food, or travelling in this country and abroad. If you're with good friends or a special person then it doesn't really matter what you do!
If I want to achieve something I will work as hard as possibly to get it. I adopted my son from Brazil over 20 years ago- so I am quite determined. Then 9 months later? Yep a daughter arrived so I do believe in miracles!
I'm retired and looking forward to having the time to enjoy new company, challenges and experiences, travelling, walking, socialising and barbeques, I'm good at the salads you can be in charge of the BBQ!
I think I should stop there as I don't want to give everything away but this paints a pretty good picture of me!
About her ideal match
Energetic, kind, lively and keen to travel. Guess I'm looking for an independent guy with his own interests. Someone who has 'adult children ' of their own...I really enjoy food and eating so interested in a wide variety of food may be important. Having lived and worked in the inner city for all my working life -a broad minded,philosophical nature would be good. I may appear calm and relaxed but underneath I may be 'paddling like heck' so someone in tune with emotions may come in useful just occasionally! Sitting in the sun holidays are not for me not sure golf or golf clubs are but you never know opposites attract
