In Her Own Words
About her
I have an eclectic mix of interests - I am as happy on a beach as I am in any city. I love theatre, contemporary dance, cinema and nearly all types of music. I'm very lucky to have so much live music in Salisbury, but I also like to go to London when I can for concerts and the theatre. I'm very interested in art and visiting galleries. I play the piano, very badly now, but it gives me pleasure.
I enjoy adventures and have travelled a lot, but doing this alone is not so much fun. I am very keen to travel more in Europe and the UK as I seem to have rather neglected them in the quest to explore further afield. I enjoy riding, walking, cycling (I have to admit to having an electric bike as well as my mountain one), swimming, gardening and read as many novels as time allows. I am a keen driver and am happy to travel to meet up.
In the summer months I enjoy doing Airbnb at my home in Salisbury. I can operate the calendar to suit me and the people I have met have certainly enriched my life. I have now had several holidays thanks to my guests becoming great friends. I won't do it for ever, but at present it suits me.
I really enjoy cooking, but, it's more rewarding to do this to share.
I was born in Devon and have lived in the South West most of my life, so would ideally like to meet someone who is keen on this area.
I'm a happy, contented, kind person with masses of enthusiasm and lots of energy for life. Nothing much daunts me and I'll always have a go, even if the results are not perfect! I have four children and at the last count, seven Grandsons, and at last, a granddaughter, so a family minded man is probably essential! I am physically fit so am keen to meet a man who is the same. I am a liberal minded person and would not do well with a staunch Conservative Brexiteer! I would just love to be someone's special person and to be loved.
About her ideal match
I would like to meet someone who above anything else is kind and caring and who would enjoy my company and be my best friend. I like spontaneity and I am a happy person who enjoys life and likes to be busy, so a similar outlook would be refreshing. I like to laugh so a man with a sense of humour is vitally important. I know at this age we all have a history, but I'd like to meet somebody who doesn't have a complicated domestic set up. I long to love and be loved again.
I believe in kindness, not hatred to any group of people for whatever reason.
"Is your glass half empty or half full?"
"I think I am grateful to have a glass".
That sort of person would be wonderful.
