In Her Own Words
About her
I am known for being bubbly, warm, confident, sunny and sometimes just a little big scatty but most of all someone who lives life to the full.
I live in the countryside and enjoy walking,playing tennis and recently kayaking. I love snorkelling in warm waters and did manage to get the first half of my Padi course completed! I enjoy the arts and dabble with the paint brush occasionally. I live to travel and have been fortunate enough to travel to many locations.
I am also a great fan of the ballet, opera, classical music, rock and most modern music and enjoy most live entertainment. I enjoy being wined and dined but am equally happy with a pub lunch or curled up on the sofa in front of a crackling fire with a film and a glass of wine and good conversation.
I work for a charity supporting and mentoring refugees from overseas and anyone who is slightly racist would be a no-no!
Family is very important to me and I have two wonderful children and four gorgeous grandchildren.
Probably, like you, I am looking for friendship, romance and if very fortunate, love!
Main pic taken last year and others over last 3 years. Everyone tells me that I look a lot younger than my years and I am certainly young at heart.
About her ideal match
I am looking for someone who is confident, intelligent, active and fun to be with. No grumpy old men! We don't need to share all our interests, I like a man who has his own interests and passions, as I have mine, but it would be good to share some! I like to travel and enjoy weekends away and walking along the coast lines, summer or winter, but as my strapline is 'Looking for sunshine in my life', more so in the summer but wouldn't say no to looking at The Northern Lights from a glass roofed igloo!!
The most important thing is, of course, the chemistry and the need for that 'spark' ! Looking forward to meeting you?
All my photos were taken fairly recently and I hope yours are too.
