In Her Own Words
About her
Happy, confident and stylish with an optimistic outlook and a great smile.
I have a straightforward and honest approach and friends and family are hugely important to me. I'd describe myself as kind, friendly and very easy to get to know with a keen interest in people and new ideas. Not ready for the female equivalent of a pipe and slippers and still have lots of energy to try new things.
My job is demanding but fulfilling and I enjoy Pilates to relax after a hard day's work. I've recently completed a refurbishment project at home and am having fun putting the finishing touches to it including framing some of my own photographs.
I enjoy visiting new places in the UK or further afield and am busy planning my trip to southern India later this year as well as dreaming about an exploration of Argentina to develop my Tango skills.
The Peak District around Bakewell and the coast in Sussex are some of my favourite places, particularly out of season, when the tea shops are emptying and the paths are quieter.
Dancing is one of many joys in my life and I've tried my hand (or maybe I should say "feet") at quite a few styles. At the moment I'm loving the buzz that I get from Ceroc/modern jive and the passion from Argentine Tango - a great combination.
I love cooking, especially recreating meals I've had on holiday or trying out one of the many recipes I've collected over the years. My favourite cuisine at the moment is Middle Eastern so I've been experimenting with delights such as courgette and mint fritters although more practice is required before they rival those In Crete. A cooking and wine tasting holiday in Italy is on my bucket list and in the meantime I've had fun on a local
wine tasting course and visited a nearby vineyard to learn some more as well as sampling the end products.
When the weather is kind I enjoy cycling along the local country lanes, walking with friends or attempting to tame the garden.
About her ideal match
I'm looking for someone warm hearted, genuine and spontaneous who can tap into my fun loving side.
Kindness, intelligence and honesty are important to me. I'm looking for someone who 'speaks the same language' and values a real connection whether that's on a walk in the rain on a windswept beach, browsing in bookshops or on the sofa reading the Sunday papers.
I'm not looking for a perfect match of all likes/dislikes/ hobbies and feel excited by the thought of broadening my own interests and sharing new experiences with someone who makes me laugh.
