In Her Own Words
About her
'Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.'... (Camus)
... or maybe more!? :)
Can you both listen and share your thoughts? Are you open to new ideas? Do you give hugs as well as receive? Could you chuckle at my dodgy jokes? :)
With an international outlook, I am lucky to be able to work from any internet café, only a few hours per week. :) Travelling is easy - do you have curiosity and the luxury of time to embark on new adventures or relax in far-flung places?
Do you hold yourself in esteem without being arrogant? My happy, smart and independent kids are fabulous company, highly engaging, but lead their own lives.
Exercise is simple, because I love it. (although not fanatical about any one sport). I play tennis mostly, enjoy golf, have skied since I was a child, used to windsurf, sail ... have a folding bike (agile in London), a road bike (love good coffee/cake destination - 2k to 30k!) and walk (to great country pubs?) - not many outdoor activities I don't enjoy - can sleep under the stars. :)
I enjoy cooking because at heart I'm a bit of a foodie - prefer to make an effort to eat healthy, delicious meals ... and know how to use my phone to find a great place to eat out rather than just turn up somewhere. Of course - happy to have quick and simple snack when time is short (mostly tasty though!). Haha!
My beautiful ball dress lies waiting as well as rugged jeans ... Do you look good in casual kit or black tie? Would you appreciate someone who can make conversation at formal events, or dance the night away?
I thrive on having balance in my life? How do you make time for work and play?
About her ideal match
Can you laugh freely? Do you make people smile? Would you make time for conversation, sport, romance and passion? ,,, then you sound intriguing! :)
Are you looking for a long-term partner to build a fun and 'meaningful' life together? Would you like to share: hugs, cuddles, dreams and aspirations?
You might be ... sophisticated at times, down-to-earth at others, kind and not too judgemental, willing to teach and learn, able to plan, but also be spontaneous. Do you hold yourself in high esteem, but with a touch of humility and a broad mind? Can you appreciate small things, funny faces, ironic situations, word-play, banter and a little teasing?
Have you an interest in art, literature, theatre, opera or reading ...? Do you appreciate the Portrait Gallery or Royal Academy? Do you love the Open Air Theatre at Regent's Park / a good play? Can you voice opinions and enjoy a response ...?!
I am looking for someone who would like to share one or two interests, such as tennis, skiing, art, architecture, history, reading the Sunday paper in bed, cycling, walks, searching for a cosy pub?! You could beat me at golf and try to win a few points at tennis?! :) .... Could we ski down last from a mountain bar, full of irreverence ... ?!
How do you fit work and play into a busy schedule? I am looking for someone who is willing to make an effort. (because I do!)
Is chemistry more important than all the above? Of course!
