In Her Own Words
About her
I am exuberant, and full of fun. I have energy and a determination to fill my time with new and interesting things. Life has been full, with a keen interest in the arts, theatre, painting, sculpture, literature, architecture and opera. I Love grabbing the moment for a sunset walk, to enjoy being by water, or surprise meal with friends.
I am actively involved with local and national politics and with my local community. There seems to me to be no point in having lived, if we cannot leave this world just changed a tiny bit for the better.
My home and most of all my friends and family are precious to me. I ran my own business for most of my life, (a canal narrow boat company for nearly 30 years and then my own PR company for eleven) later a voluntary community TV station, but now I am totally retired! It sounds as if my life is full, but there is a difference between full, and filled. My pictures are recent.
I am exploring new mediums in art, and loving it, so life's never boring! I am enjoying a firework display of new ideas. During lock down I started working out at home which I always used to scoff at) and have enjoyed riding my electric trike. I am not an avid reader but love beautifully crafted words that touch my heart and soul.
We are asked what we are looking for, looks are not important, although presentation and cleanliness is! A 'meeting of minds' matters most, shared interests, not all, but some, and of course a spark that is indefinable! Warmth, kindness, a concern for others and a joy of life. Relationships need to gel intellectually, emotionally, physically, politically and spiritually. If you are out there I would love to hear from you! I love making new friends with similar interests, it really doesn't have to be anything more, but more would just be a delightful bonus. There is always room for shared joy.
About her ideal match
I am looking for someone around my age, who enjoys life and is optimistic. A man who enjoys walking on the beach, beautiful countryside, exciting cities and grabbing the moment for new experiences. He hopefully will enjoy the arts, interesting holidays, and eating good food accompanied by stimulating conversation. Most important 'a meeting of minds'. He will be interested in our wider community and sincerely concerned for those less fortunate. He will be sociable and enjoy sharing his friends and mine. He will enjoy visits to galleries, theatre, meals out, opera and a warm respect for each others achievements. Really important someone to enjoy doing nothing with! Is this asking too much?
