In Her Own Words
About her
Hello lovely people… thanks for looking at my profile 😊
What’s important you may ask…
The answer for me is family and friends.
My children are fantastic, all working and living around or near London, all with partners and pretty independent.
My work, I love, but I can’t work forever so I’m gently planning ahead .
I’m not usually so philosophical, but thoughtfulness and kindness are becoming more and more important in my life. I’ve worked with aggressive alpha males all my life, and actually I’m looking for someone secure in themselves, enough to let me shine and support me without banter or sarcasm… Success is attractive but constant need to compete and win has become less appealing.
I’m an outdoor girl, walking, cycling, skiing, golf etc etc
Variable skill but lots of enthusiasm and good humour.
Not a great fan of sitting around, watching tv. I’m more likely to head out to the park or my allotment.. blue skies and trees work wonderfully on my sense of well-being.
Reasonable cook, dinner parties rather than daily slog, like the usual Opéra, especially the opera house, Verona and would love to visit Sydney opera house and the Met.
Mathew Bourne ballet and movies , and playing Duplicate bridge .. I play a couple of times a week and it’s a relatively new addiction.
All these things that the 20 year old me would have hooted with laughter at. How we mellow with time.
About her ideal match
What fun, the ideal man...
Probably divorced or widowed with children.
Ideally, if divorced, with a reasonable relationship with the ex... appreciation of the good.. and an ability to show a united front for the family.
I’d enjoy having an extended family to some extent… obviously we’d spend time independently with our children, but a degree of overlap could be a bonus.
Non smoker, occasional drinks can be fun, but not an excess.
Calm and happy with his lot, as I alluded to above, success is attractive, especially with awareness and kindness to others.
Sporty, healthy, maybe working, or involved in charity, or running a business. I can’t imagine being with someone who does nothing all day. Easy to chat to, kind to animals, keen to try new things, travel to new places and show me your old favourites. I love travel and have a lot of places to visit.
It would be great if you liked walking, playing golf, skiing, tennis, maybe theatre and opera. However I don’t feel the need to be joined at the hip, and would be happy wandering around an art gallery with old friends whilst you watched a five day test, or whatever makes you happy.
Bridge is a major interest and if you played, that would be a big bonus, but not essential.
Based around London at least part of the time, my children, friends and work are here, but happy to spend weekends in Europe, especially when it’s cold and damp here.
