In Her Own Words
About her
I'm a glass half full optimist who loves life and all that it offers but would now like to share my enthusiasm with a like-minded man. I love the stimulation that discussion and banter bring but I also like to chill out sometimes and watch a film or documentary on television or listen to music. Music needs to have a significant place in my life - live music in pubs, also going to concerts or listening at home, and whilst at home, entertaining, whether it be a quiet candlelit meal for two or a party for fifty, is truly enjoyable for me and I love being the enabler for others to feel comfortable and cared for. My family and extended family are very important to me and I look forward to gatherings for meals and birthdays which would, of course, include any future partner's family. I am quick witted and have an observational type of humour and will get fired up if you are the same! I am naturally optimistic, enthusiastic and spontaneous. The universe and all that it entails is a continuing source of wonder for me. Although I am a scientist I love visiting art galleries and museums, but must say I do have a special liking for the Science Museum in London.
I am socially ept - I'm not sure if that is a word but it's meant to be the opposite of inept! I am very adaptable and have no fixed ideas about the future - prepared to 'go with the flow' and write the future as it happens. I am tactile,warm and loving and wish for those to be reciprocated. Although I am retired officially I will probably always need to do something for mental stimulation. I really look forward to meeting you - lets see what we have in common!
