In Her Own Words
About her
I am independant, intelligent, (fairly)self-reliant, honest, talkative, supportive; and try to live mindfully and be non-judgemental!
I love dogs, cats... snakes, spiders ... all animal life! I have two Greek rescue dogs, but am sadly now without my lovely cat - hoping to get a new rescued one soon.
I retired (eventually) a couple of years ago from being a p/t support worker for adults and kids with Autistic Spectrum Condition, and now only work about a dozen hrs a week.
I get on with most people of all ages. My friends and ex-colleagues say I will never behave "like an old woman!" Sometimes my usually white hair becomes turquoise, purple or occasionally multicoloured!
I have two daughters, and am lucky enough to have two gorgeous, lively, talented young grandaughters, who I adore ... although I dont see them as often as I would like to, as they all live in London.
I am a volunteer at a small independant cinema in Hastings, and really enjoy seeing a variety of films there.
I have always been drawn to Zen Buddhism and have been on retreat a couple of times, although since lockdown I haven't attended a meditation group.
In the last couple of decades, I have loved visiting a few countries (in a group, with a friend - not brave enough to go alone) ... making up for earlier years when I couldn't afford to travel. Although , as someone who feels strongly about the global environmental situation, I am very aware that air travel should now be limited.
My friends say I am "honest, honorable, kind, ethical, modest, tolerant, irreverent , funny and a tad cynical!"
I say they don't know me all that well! I am also lazy (hate housework) and very good at procrastinating and avoiding tasks that need to be done.
I love fusion, world and afrocelt music, and dancing (in my own way) to the beat.
I refuse to grow old gracefully!
About her ideal match
Tolerant, relaxed, intelligent and compassionate, ... enjoys the countryside, woods, beaches, dog walking (not route marches!), meals out and just sitting quietly.. Doesn't take themself too seriously!
I am looking for a companion, to share days out, fun, mutual support and possibly a relationship.
