In Her Own Words
About her
Hi guys, I've realised that a lot of you might not read my profile to the very end, so I'm putting this out there at the top of the agenda - sorry, but I don't like beards! (And nor does my sensitive skin).
I am friendly and outgoing, thoughtful and (I believe!) considerate. Generally optimistic - when bad stuff happens, it doesn't take me long to bounce back. I can be quite opinionated, but don't let that put you off - I'm interested to know your thoughts too.
Just a note re my photos (a gallery of a few years!), the latest picture is the 'Writer in Residence' outside Frome Wholefoods, which was taken at the end of June 2022.
I moved here fifteen years ago - from Richmond upon Thames to Frome in north Somerset (near Bath) - quite a new experience as I'd been in the London area for all my adult life - but I love it here; there's a really creative vibe and lots always going on. I'm in London now and then for business and cultural activities, and to get together with friends.
My details show my dietary choice as 'Eat Healthily'. I resisted putting vegetarian as I'm actually pescatarian. I'm not offended by someone eating meat in my presence, but I wouldn't cope well with chunks of dead animal in the fridge! (Perhaps two fridges?).
I enjoy theatre, visiting galleries, stand-up comedy (love Ed Byrne, Danny Bhoy and that black girl called Gina something), cinema, the ballet, country walks (ending at a pub!), a meal in a Michelin starred restaurant or at a local pizza house - it's the company that matters. Don't do gym any more; I now prefer Pilates and, a couple of years ago, resumed ballet classes. I love salsa too. Reading - favourites include Ian McEwan and Mark Billingham, but my all-time favourite classic is 'Rebecca' (it's a girl thing). The first few lines are pure poetry.
I want to start horse-riding again (it's been a while, apart from one very wet day on Dartmoor last July!) - a perfect holiday would be trekking through some stunning South American landscape - join me?
About her ideal match
You will be easy-going and relaxed, kind, quietly confident. A lively sparkle in your eyes would be a distinct advantage
You enjoy your work, but don't let it take over your life; you might be in a creative occupation
You have a healthy lifestyle and keep yourself in good shape - this one is pretty important
Facial hair? No thanks - much prefer clean shaven (though a bit of stubble sometimes can be nice).
What do I notice first? eyes, mouth, hands ... and shoes!
What do I notice next? Ask me later ....
