In Her Own Words
About her
I'm fit and active and have a positive outlook on life. I was widowed 9 years ago and have 3 children and grandchildren, none of who live nearby. I have a bunch of good friends but miss having a close male friend with whom I can share and develop my interests.
The outdoors and all aspects of nature are very important to me. I live close by the beautiful tidal River Deben where I spend a lot of time sailing, rowing and swimming. I also enjoy cycling, walking and my garden. I am interested in the Arts generally and like to go to concerts(mainly classical), the theatre, and galleries when I can. I love travelling especially with a companion to share the excitement of visiting new places.
I am pretty easy-going, but quite organised and like being busy. I think people find me easy to get on with, chatty and friendly. I enjoy the company of others but am comfortable being on my own too. People tend to think I am more confident than I actually feel, deep down. The bright sunshine in my recent profile photo makes me look greyer than I believe I actually am (wishful thinking?)! The one of me on a yacht is from a family Flotiila holiday in 2019. My normal vessel is my Cormorant sailing dinghy!
About her ideal match
He will ideally be outdoorsy too, care for the environment and nature, and me, of course! I'd like it if he were a good mixer, friendly, quietly confident, kind, affectionate and non- judgemental, somebody people trust and can depend on. He doesn't need to be the life and soul of the party, just a thoroughly nice guy! I'd want to share some or all of my interests and values with him but I'd be pleased if he has interests of his own and appreciates space and independence within a relationship. If we watch TV together I'd like him to enjoy good dramas and films, documentaries, nature and arts programmes. I hope he is well read/educated as well as down-to earth and practical.
