In Her Own Words
About her
I retired last year from a professional job in a large acute hospital. I now work part-time on various projects which allows me a good work/life balance.
I have a grown up son and daughter who live away from home. My son married last year and now has a delightful baby girl. My family is very important to me.
I relax with good food and fine wine. I try to exercise regularly to keep fit and to try to keep all that 'good food and fine wine at bay'! I golf very occasionally, not in the rain and not well but slowly improving!
My great pastime is reading. I love to travel and would enjoy a companion to join me. I also enjoy the cinema and theatre.
I am of average build and take pride in my appearance. My friends and teenage daughter tell me I am attractive!
I am a caring genuine person with a good sense of humour. Humour has helped me through some bad times and would be an essential characteristic in a future relationship.
I have a great love of most types of music (jazz, country rock, R&B etc)and love live performances. I've just had an amazing holiday - Music Cities of the USA!
The photograph wearing a hat on steps and standing at a harbour are the most recent - Kinsale, Co Cork in October. ..... I'm Irish by birth!
I have reached that exciting stage in a woman's life when her children have fled the nest and I am looking for new adventures. Anyone up to the challenge?
About her ideal match
A genuine, honest, caring man with a great sense of humour especially capable of laughing at himself.
An interest in music and moderate fitness/exercise - but not obsessively so. A love of reading would be good and attending live music concerts also good!
A positive outlook who sees the glass half full rather than half empty.
A permanent relationship is not essential; would love companionship and laughter but if a commitment developed that would be a bonus.
