In Her Own Words
About her
As the numbers go up on my birthday cards I clearly haven’t got the hang of this ‘growing old’ malarkey or even possibly growing up; Mirror, Mirror on the Wall does not reflect my childlike sense of fun, my love of laughing or my reindeer fur slippers (OMGoodness, did I really just admit to those? Oh well!!).
While I have no fear of travelling, site-seeing or even being on my own, it is so much nicer having someone to ooo!! aah!! with whether it’s gawping in awe at the Sydney Opera House, surrounded by trees or being mesmerised with a glass of good red or, preferably, chilled bubbles watching a Cornish sunset.
The serious stuff: good food, good wine, good coffee and cake, good taste, good conversation, good company … Goodness.
- walking and I have nail varnish that matches the trim on my boots (yes, seriously) although a sense of direction and orientation have seriously passed me by
- yoga and I like to watch live sport especially rugby, cricket and have been known to watch Tottenham
I am a DIYer and have just finished boarding my loft and all the stuff that goes with a new house
I’m seriously learning to play the piano but it doesn’t always sound like it
- listening to music; dancing especially when no one is looking
reading; writing; visiting theatre, concerts, opera, plays, cinema, museums and galleries
- trains, boats (yikes!!) and planes; the coast, the countryside
I used to be into cooking but seem to have lost the plot with that lately
I love learning and being of value to others.
I’m just as serious about the things that get my goat and carry a soap box in my Mary Poppins portmanteau.
I have no padding, fillers or botox
My ‘baggage’ is the kind they put in the hold
I’m a tad (lot) chatty - I love life
I cry happy tears at all the good and lovely things that happen in my life as well as the achievement of others, in particular my wonderful daughters and their families.
About her ideal match
Someone who appreciates the wholesome Goodness of my ‘Mad as a Box of Frogs-ness’, who can shimmy down the aisle in Waitrose – metaphorically or otherwise; who can engage in serious world issues or just the time of day, a bit of a ‘go getter’, a traveller, someone who enjoys the finer things in life
Essential: Someone who laughs at my jokes, who puts a smile on my face and who is proud and excited to be in each other’s company.
