In Her Own Words
About her
Thank you to my lovely friends who say I’m compassionate, loads of fun and intelligent when we’re talking about each other. They say lots of other things too, but those words aren’t for this arena! I think I’m emotionally intelligent, and care a great deal about other people. Good manners and generosity are high on my agenda and unkindness and meanness of spirit are pretty awful. I absolutely love my job which is with unique young people, but a time when I’m not tied to the constraints an almost full time job entails will be good. I want to explore almost every country on earth and I especially love spending time in New York, Marrakech, Paris and Venice. I’m a sometimes sailor, stroller in places it's impossible to get to any other way and a moocher on my bike. Exploring new places and revisiting old, beautiful architecture, playing the piano, teatime, violet creams, the British seaside in winter, Bowie, Mozart, Billy Connolly, laughter, irreverent humour, long summer days, lavender ice cream, cooking for and eating with friends and fat rain are some of the things I have a fondness for. I'm drawn to the past in a search for the elegant and interesting (but make absolutely no claim to either of those qualities myself!). Bookshops, galleries, the Hay Festival, anywhere where there’s music and the theatre are places where I love spending time.
Oh and I’m not keen on flying, but put up with it whilst praying the crew know what they’re doing. For some perverse reason a little bit of schadenfreude kicks in as I’m always so very happy to see others on board who are far more terrified than me.
Oops have I gone on too much?
About her ideal match
I love my life and am lucky to have a circle of close friends, but this life would be even better with an intelligent, kind and funny man in it who would fill my heart with complete joy and me his. It would be great to meet someone with a passion for everything, to walk and travel with, to enjoy visiting new places and revisiting old, to go to concerts and the theatre and spend days exploring with, but also who loves spending time at home. I tend to veer towards kind, gentle, amusing people, steering away from rude critters who enjoy making others lives miserable. As I’m not overly keen on flying, I guess a chauvinistic, rude pilot is probably not what I’m seeking here! I'm a firm believer that strong relationships are built on solid friendships and love those days when you just hang out together - sitting by a roaring fire reading the Sunday papers, cooking meals together, eating out, walking the dog, spur of the moment decisions to pack our bags and head off somewhere together, no agenda just someone to share things with and the comfort of being. It would be truly lovely to have something we would both find difficult to live without; to enjoy all the little nothings that, in the end, mean so much more than all those somethings........
