In Her Own Words
About her
I am an eternal optimist who lives for the best in each day - to wake up each day is a blessing. I have amazing friends, just not that special friend.
I am fortunate to enjoy both my work and free time and whilst I have a base in London I share my time between there, Devon and Cardiff when not working elsewhere. In other words am completely peripatetic and as I love driving, travelling to meet up with someone is not a problem and I really do mean 'to the moon and back' for the right person.
Happy to start with social contact - conversation over coffee, out for a drink, dinner or a walk in the park though eventually looking for something more as I work less and relax more. I enjoy giving and am described as kind and loving by those closest to me. I also love to laugh and smile and I have a wicked sense of humour when you get to know me.
Have wide ranging tastes such as travel, eating out, cooking in, country walks (preferably with a dog) or city breaks, rugby union. I also like to read, listen to music (have eclectic tastes) and enjoy some theatre, film or opera to relax. Love cooking, especially for others and accompanied by a glass of fine wine. Also into arts and crafts. Happy to try most interests if it means spending time with someone I want to be with but don't ask me to a football match or to watch it on TV. That's when I'll be in the kitchen cooking or out seeing friends.
I love to spend time with friends, especially those who are my family by choice. I am lucky to have friends of all ages and a wonderful collection of god-children who are a big part of my life. I would look forward to introducing you to them.
Whilst I enjoy my own company very much, it is now time to find that special person who can help me make every day even more special for both of us.
About her ideal match
Know some people will think that it sounds trite but how you look is really less important to me than the person you are. I have had lots of contact from superficial men who decide that a curvy, 50 something woman with personality is not for them - their loss. Personality, values and beliefs are more important to me and you will be caring, kind and honest so we can build mutual trust. Chemistry is also important as with the right person, I love mutual touch.
If you are someone who wants to invest in spending time with me and getting to know me and vice versa then I would love to hear from you.
It will also be good if you have your own interests so you will be someone who can balance partner time with being independent and self sufficient.
I would hope that you enjoy a mix of outdoor life with staying in and still want to travel in the UK and further. Weekend breaks as well as longer trips are in my plans as is the possibility of another dog at some point in the future.
It is essential that you are a non smoker. Everything else, however, is negotiable.
