In Her Own Words
About her
Warm, friendly and not in the least afraid to laugh at myself (as well as everyone else) my friends would describe me as fun to be with. Open to new ideas and new ways of seeing things. I love to travel, I love to read. Not big on TV although I recognise it has a place, and fairly useless on the question of politics and sport. But don't groan - I can hold my own in discussions on the former and am prepared to watch and if necessary cheer appropriately at the latter.
What else then. I have two totally divine grown up daughters who fill me with pride whenever I see them. One physics degree the other classics - their lives pretty far removed from my student days which were spent meandering around London music colleges taking taxis everywhere and eating curries all on a student grant that didn't need to be paid back later.... don't remember doing much cooking because there was no need. However, I can now do it rather well and have all the famous Ottolenghi recipe books so I can talk well on the subject of pomegranate molasses and can cook things to die for!
I can also make things out of silver, fix cranky lighting and put up shelves from which the books slide off.
I love reading. I love music of many varieties and most forms of art (excluding the early religious stuff with cherubs floating about). I love people watching and trudging around in the park on a wet Sunday morning. But how much more fun all these things would be to do with someone else.
About her ideal match
The perfect man for me will be articulate, enquiring, interested in everything, up for most things and ready to carve out a new and wonderful slice of life.
Someone who will share with me those domestic irritations (the cranky lighting, the books sliding off) and laugh at the inadequacies of each other and of life. But far more importantly, someone who is spontaneous. A suggestion of a Moroccan dinner becomes a weekend in Morocco. An aimless wander around London ends up in a lunch time classical concert in an East End Church. A vague desire to eat produces an impromptu expedition for fish and chips on the Brighton sea front.
Come on - you can do it! Its the second half of our century guys - lets live it!
ps the rather sinister looking fellow lurking at the edge of my rowing photo is my brother in law who shares my love of boats and the sea
