In Her Own Words
About her
People enjoy my company. This is because I'm positive, I value humour and quick wit and have little desire to talk incessantly about myself. I am not the easiest woman in the world, my mind works very quickly and I seem to have less patience the older I get!!
My days are best spent doing The Times jumbo cryptic crossword, running a small Support Group for people with a rare metabolic condition, taking cycle rides to Waitrose and chatting to friends up and down the country. I love discovering new places, even more so if à velo, and would like to meet someone who would like to accompany me on a regular basis on such escapades.
Although I put on a brave face and am known for being an assertive woman, I'm a bit of a wimp deep down and need a little encouragement to fulfil my potential.
About her ideal match
I'm looking for a man who is similarly quick witted and is content with what he has achieved in life. I don't have any desire to co-habit or remarry, but more to enjoy their company over dinner, on the road discovering new places or cycling down a European river. If he played Scrabble - well - this would be a bonus, as would be a bridge player of any standard. I admit my interest in literature and the arts leaves much to be desired, although I seem to find myself for ever in the theatre and attending concerts because that's what all my friends are interested in! I am very happy to embrace any children that come with such a man, in fact I prefer to spend time around young people.
I'm afraid I have had enough of male black dog in my life, and would really rather meet a man who has a similar positive and youthful outlook on life. It is important to me that he is not looking to rely on me either emotionally or financially.
