In Her Own Words
About her
Fun, enthusiastic for life and new walks of life. Love art, architecture, life's histories, languages, different cultures, walking, reading, sailing, movies all but sci-fi and real horror, no way. Books, historical novels & thrillers, biographies, nature. Colours & textiles are important to me. Was a professional sailor for 4 years, cross Atlantic, Caribbean and in the Mediterranean, chartering/racing. I was a professional cook in villas South of France and for London wineries. Write food stories online. So food, cooking, wine are all important to me. Definitely have a healthy sense of humour. Adore my 27yr old architect daughter who lives in Rome and Porto.
I do like roaring fires, dogs, small summer events, historical buildings. Music, most types, dancing; travelling with car, up mountains, along coasts so long as can see the local culture, eat local foods and wines, not glorified hotels. Also weekends away in cute pubs, lodges and spas. Walking on moors. A drink at the end of the day, listening to and telling stories. A touch of quiet moments. Can be alone happily. Cuppa tea in bed on weekends.
Family & friends say I have a kind, generous heart. Much love to give. Am no fool. Am loyal and friendly.
Believe in local products and caring actively for this planet.
No crowds. No malls.
Love photography, drawing, pottery, making bread.
Making myself a home in every country I have lived, Italy, France, New Zealand. Interested to live a year in North Portugal by Atlantic. and write about the experience doing that move post 65.
Family, what's left of it, are important to me. Making memories for the young grand niece and nephew.
After two years travelling away, work and family, I now need a base, a home, a garden, veggie patch, preferably near water: river, lake or sea. Likely Italy, in Lazio the province of Rome where my daughter architect lives and works. Will always have a second bedroom for friends and family to visit.
