In Her Own Words
About her
Tis Joy here..
Fortunately, have lived a charmed life..from a loving, secure, stable, happiest of childhoods..a creative work & lifestyle, along joyous marriage & deeply fulfilling, lifetime friendships..plus my dogs
Happiest in preserving mutual harmony, balance..and sharing..all the reasons for being!
Very briefly,an ex Biba London girl..to a textile/interiors designer..married, sadly widowed by my soulmate (farmer) husband.. child free & live on a Surrey farm (halfway) between London & Brighton..where I own/run a music studio.. Passions? All things creative, resourcefulness, WIT & sharing banter with my dear friends the theatre, cinema, live entertainment, the beach & my dogs (Cockerpoo’s)
Style?..Boho! Borderline eccentric..yet totally grounded..
5’3” size 12..brown streaked hair/eyes & canna believe, just turned stinky seventy!
Never personally been remotely interested in sporty stuff as hiking & biking..Wimbledon & ice dance..holds a charm.. as does Chelsea flower show, sightseeing anywhere! Walking, ambling all day for lengthy dog walks..picnics, coasts exploring for day, weekend trips etc
Fab faves..live entertainment, theatre, drama, cinema, concerts, photography, architecture, travelling...
Best, though, shared, all the above.. hopefully with a kindly, positive, dry humoured, creative articulate..decent gentleman..
Wouldsoappreciate hearing from you, if in any way, maybe, so far..thus inspired?

Mutual chemistry, will of course be key
