In Her Own Words
About her
Looking for someone who enjoys a good conversation, especially ones that get a bit silly. Warm, kind, creative and intelligent, I can be a good listener and hope you can too. I was a journalist for years, but sitting in an office was doing me in so I retrained as a gardener, and now juggle writing with working outside several days a week. I’d love to meet someone who shares a passion for the outdoors. Theatre is essential for me and I review plays at least once a week. I’m happiest on the beaches of North Devon and Cornwall, heading into the water with a bodyboard; it would be great to meet another keen swimmer. I love cooking, and enjoy relaxed evenings with friends round, and the odd bottle of wine. I've neglected my social life while bringing up my daughter on my own, but now that my girl's nearly grown up I'm ready to focus on me more - and hopefully on you!
About her ideal match
I'd love to meet someone relaxed and tolerant, with a sense of humour when things don't go as planned. I'm less hung up on looks than on a warm heart and kind personality. You'll probably adore discussing books and plays and politics; hopefully you'll also enjoy watching rugby and cricket. You'll be a bit outdoorsy, whether it's working in the garden or hiking on the hills. You'll enjoy the water, whether it's swimming, bodyboarding, boating or scuba diving. I hope you have an adventurous streak. You're someone who enjoys life.
