In Her Own Words
About her
I have worked around the world as a journalist and still travel from time to time, mostly in Eastern Europe. I love the radio, music and recording. I have an abundance of interests including current affairs, history, photography. I'm a good cook, like gardening and read a lot - mostly non-fiction but not only.
I have two teenage boys - one at university; two cats and a garden.
I like swimming and riding my bike - but don't own a scrap of lycra and have never been skiing. Hill walking would be more my thing, or coastal footpaths.
Favourite cinema - Regent Street.
Current books - Vikram Seth and Vasily Grossman.
Favourite lock-down cook - Meera Sodha
About her ideal match
Lively mind, funny, cheerful, reliable - all these would be great qualities. Bookishness would be great.
Absolutely fine if you have children living with you.
