In Her Own Words
About her
Am very well-travelled, allegedly articulate and have been known to tickle the odd rib or two (clearly tricky to spot thusfar). A university lecturer by trade, my working life is split between London and the south coast ; I really enjoy the challenge and flexibility this brings. Great perks too - long hols, subsidised elbow patches and so on. Have a real passion for all sorts of things - am going to try to resist the temptation to lapse into a list here but not easy. I love eating out, which I do as much as time and circumstance permit - definitely a bit of an Eastern thinng going on with my tastebuds. I spend lots and lots of time on the beach, and can often be found lurking in rock pools and mucking about in boats/generally being nautical (hence my somewhat windswept-just-out-of-the-water vibe in a couple of my pics) Tennis and skiing are fave pastimes too.
Well that's quite enough rambling from me. If this diatribe has not yet sent you running for the hills, then please do drop me a line.
About her ideal match
Would be absolutely delighted to unearth a kind, funny and clever co-banterer (?) to put a little spring in my step.
