In Her Own Words
About her
Curious and free-spirited, easy-going and cheerful, articulate, creative and kind, I can trim a hedge, trim your hair, bake a cake, cook up a storm, dig a veg patch, dig your scene.
Particular fondness for being outside, nature, gardening, exploring, creating a warm welcoming home, cats, dogs, hens, wildlife, sunshine, coast, photography, upbeat chat, creativity, poetry, mutual respect, being busy, singing, walking, painting, drawing, kites, helping others, bookshops, convivial meals that last for hours, growing food, the company of animals, writing stories, the stillness of museums, fiery gypsy jazz to classic rock/pop, whirling Irish reels to poignant Mahler and popping Shostakovich, foreign markets, big city parks, eating outside, losing track of time in compelling company, cooking for friends, and bonfires.
My bookcase heaves with too many volumes.
I love playing with words, writing, communicating, making plans.
I smile lots and laugh easily, see the bigger picture. Am helpful, attentive, generous, hardworking, quick witted, leave the sand in my shoes.
I can lead myself astray.
I see the less obvious, pay attention to detail.
A thermos flask of tea, a hip flask of single malt.
Conversation, conservation - I’m concerned about the state of our planet, and look for solutions, aspiring to be more off-grid. I follow a plant-based diet.
I listen to R2, R3, R4, Jazz FM, love playing board games, being under wide open skies, beach combing, and staying outside until it’s too dark to see.
Been an active member of a lowland search and rescue team.
Feels right to share my space with flora and fauna.
I see a relationship as the biggest investment we ever take on, and a happiness to be earned - we haven’t won something.
It’s a wonderful opportunity to make someone’s one and only life better.
‘A book of verses beneath the bough,
A jug of wine, a loaf of bread - and thou
Beside me, singing in the wilderness!
O, wilderness were paradise enow!’
Beginning to think that person isn’t out there after all…
About her ideal match
Well, you weren’t buying veg at the market, and you weren’t reading your book in the local park. You weren’t on the last train I took, and I didn’t see you walking in the hills.
Perhaps you’re here…
I’m looking for a kind individual who might complement the person I am.
Someone with their own interests and ideas - not a mirror image of me, but one who sees commonalities.
Seeking an opportunity for us to bring positive new dimensions to each others lives.
The independent part of me says that I am fine on my own, but we mustn’t listen to her.
Life is sweeter with two :)
