In Her Own Words
About her
I've been single for seven years. They've been busy ones, working as a specialist in public heathcare with a demanding job. I'm outdoorsy by nature, love a good walk or climb, and have ambitions to walk Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way and the great walks of the UK for a start. I also want to travel a little and maybe re- start golf. I was a massive failure before so I'm not expecting much by way of bragging rights and a low handicap second time out.
I took semi retirement in February. It was meant to be an easing down from a busy work life and the start of new adventures and challenges - including rowing and archery and three planned trips abroad.
But we all know what happened in March. The lid on the top of the world blew off and all my best laid plans of mice and men evaporated in a puff of smoke. It'll happen... one day. I'm young in heart and spirit.
Meanwhile and as a constant, family is my heart. Three adult children, all grown up and independent, and two grandsons to date, are my inspiration and teachers. I delight in their company. By way of contrast, I'm still figuring out what a kitchen is for, though I can cook a mean lasagne or a cracking cider and onion soup. I have an apron. It's ten years old. It still looks pristine and I give you full permission to make what you will of my culinary skills and achievements. Just don't ask my children but they all survived.
I'm gentle in heart but tough of spirit. I'm a firm believer in the old adage, "Where one will fail, two will succeed". It's not about perfection but in perfecting the art of acceptance of each others foibles and fears.
If you see a similar thread to this in your life, then you're the one for me.
About her ideal match
Enjoys the great outdoors and nature. Active. Good cook. Able to laugh at himself and doesn't take life too seriously. Has an adventurous streak and is protective towards those he loves. Might even want to take me golfing, a sport I have tried and failed at
