In Her Own Words
About her
Typically British; a little reserved initially & finds this section difficult.
Loyal, faithful and a hard worker.
From catwalk to combats; I've had a varied & somewhat unconventional past life...Lived overseas for several years where aside from my day job I was a foster carer, voluntary swimming teacher/coach, ran & taught adult education classes.
I swam competitively for many years & have retained a slim athletic figure (no...I don't have shoulders like Rebecca Addlington) & will never ask you "does my bum look big in this?" These days Bikram Yoga keeps me out of trouble!
Adventurous - willing to 'have a go'.
Enjoys most sports but adores being on or in water.
Wicked, sometimes naughty sense of humour but can, occasionally, be soooo BLONDE!
Bit of a 'girly swot'...reads a lot (never stop learning; still a work in progress).
Low maintenance: dependable & supportive, able to 'adapt & overcome'.
Sunny disposition, doesn't do sulky; sultry - yes...sulky - no...AND it's not the end of the world if a nail breaks!
Not a 'game player'...A 'one guy gal'...who plays 'for keeps'.
Loves:
Going to live concerts, Vivaldi recital in Prague/ Rolling Stones in Abu Dhabi/ Springsteen in 85 at Wembley...Yes I was there!...love most genres of music but default is Soul.
Museums/ Theatre/ 'events' & rugby matches (particularly internationals & are an annual 'get together' with my son) not so keen on football though.
Exploring the moors & the mountains (climbing up or skiing down) especially Dartmoor, Exmoor & the Lake District.
Sunrise/set in spectacular locations.
All the usual nights in/out, travelling & have a wardrobe appropriate for most occasions (don't have a Morris dancing outfit...never say "NEVER").
Dressing up in a posh frock (with heels & BAGS of style!); channelling my inner rock chic or mucking about on the moors.
Marmite (yes...seriously).
QT, GoT & a G&T every now & then.
Dancing...alone...together...smooching (to Marvin Gaye).
That special someone in a DJ/Tux...swoon!
L.I.F.E with all its ups & downs!
About her ideal match
Crikey - more words!
Who knows... it's all about that elusive formula that no-one has the equation for & that money simply cannot buy.
He will be...Someone I love & trust implicitly & who reciprocates; being there for each other. Someone I can do everything and nothing with. Someone with whom silence is not uncomfortable - one look that says "its us (& the kids) VS the rest of the world" or that cheeky nod/wink..."lets get out of here...party for two X"
I am quite relaxed & curious about whom I might meet... however, a few caveats... MUST be kind (considerate & passionate would be great). Moreover, I am not interested in anyone with a 'wonky' moral compass; honour and integrity are traits that I value dearly.
Looking for love...Real love: a mutually exclusive, intellectually stimulating, ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, fancy-the-pants-off-each other, I look good in your shirt...LOVE (can I say that or will it be censored & replaced by [removed] ?).
There's an old Chinese belief...
An invisible thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place or circumstance.
Soooo, here in cyberspace, at the mercy of a computer algorithm that calculates our 'ideal matches' (dating 21st century style...one of the most bizarre experiences of my life) - let's see if there is indeed a thread that connects us & we can make it back into the 'real world' & get our feet back on terra firma?
Good luck & best wishes x
P.S. Own Scott & Specialized Levo Expert Mountain bikes & I'm not afraid to use them!
