In Her Own Words
About her
I like people, am sociable, honest, with integrity, honourable, open, treat people as I would like them to treat me. Well groomed, a lady of good taste. Self sufficient. Now retired, although I now work in various and varied areas of the voluntary sector. My job was very interesting and absorbing - rewarding too. It evokes debate and discussion, although I hope I am never considered a bore talking about work.
I was a military wife for many years. It taught me to be sensitive to others needs and engage in formal events. My voluntary work has the same demands.
Have great friends but need more from life. I enjoy travel - preferably to warm climes, but not always! My favourite places are both city and rural - some you cannot compare - they are so different. In recent years I have enjoyed many National Parks and a few cities in the U.S. I enjoy eating food that I have not prepared and am willing to try most things, but I am a good cook, so also enjoy preparing home cooked meals and/or dinner parties. Whatever it is, it can usually be enhanced with a glass of good wine and conversation.
I am well educated would appreciate someone who is similar but not necessarily educated in the same field.
I keep fit in the garden, producing far too much fruit and vegetables for just me. My friends appreciate the donations of fresh produce and varied home preserves! My friends are young at heart, as I am.
Would like to share time with an equally lively mind. I am not a political person, but do have values that I consider important. Open and honest; I need to be trusted and be able to trust. I am a people person.
About her ideal match
He should be well educated, articulate, professional. Honest, open, with integrity and communicative. Self sufficient but looking for a more complete, rounded existence with companionship. Somebody who has self respect and some pride in his appearance and his surroundings.
Some common ground is important, but separate interests can add interest to conversation, learning from each other. I would also appreciate somebody who does not wallow in the past, rejecting modern life. To trust and be trusted. Mutual respect is valued.
I am keen to travel - preferably to warm weather - and experience new cultural and geographical things, but please don't ask me to go camping! Honesty vital.
