In Her Own Words
About her
I’m arty with a business side too. I love to cook for my friends and to loose myself in nature. I run, read and love cinema. Not so good at gardening (although I try!) or any kind of social media.I’m good at being on my own but even better at being with someone.
Since losing my husband to cancer a few years ago, I have enjoyed some near misses but nothing serious. These have been strange and difficult times for us all, but for me there have undoubtedly been some upsides. Time to think and reflect, to discard some outdated habits and to embrace some new ones. I feel that I have pressed the reset button in some important ways - so why not try out the new me with someone new?
It would be so good to get to know someone. Someone to relax with and have fun. Someone who makes me laugh. Someone I can trust. Someone I can relate to.
Not much to ask I know, but here’s hoping!
About her ideal match
He would have to be pretty special! Tall, handsome, intelligent ,kind, generous, positive, funny. I am quite independent, so clingy would not be good. Commitment is important as is honesty.
I suppose that good relationships revolve around that really special axis of freedom and support. Not easy to achieve, but certainly worth striving for.
