In Her Own Words
About her
Not a great one for having photos taken! All bar one taken in the last couple of months..
I'm single, never married, no children and an ex workaholic with no ties....free agent/spirit! Don't read as sad...some things I would do differently but who wouldn't?
Semi retired, only work part time wherever my laptop is. Background in fashion and project management! After a difficult couple of years, seeking to find an uncomplicated, enjoyable life, but not ready for boring, still lots to do and experience...need a 'partner in crime'!
I value my 'space', bit of an introvert (though no one believes it) but would really like to find that special person, soulmate and best friend to share time and make new memories!
Romantic at heart..."I want someone to look at me across a crowded room and know that he's happy to be going home with me"!
Have enjoyed travelling but not '14 days on sun bed' sort of girl and I really don't much like crowds or cruises! Like to get off the tourist track to try to experience a little of the place and culture. Longing to discover Italy but not alone.
Renovation almost finished on my little cottage in County Durham and have a garden to love again.....just as happy in old jeans gardening as a long 'frock' socialising! :-)
Don't do reality TV, game shows or soap operas. Bit of a Radio 4 and Podcast fan! Oh and not obsessed with my phone or shopping!
Rediscovering the joy of books and would like perhaps to explore classical music and concerts. Would love a partner to learn to salsa! :-)
I like to cook but not much fun for one. Love to eat out....good food, wine and conversation with someone special is just wonderful.
Always try to be honest (can't tolerate lies) and am caring and loyal to the people I care about. I appear confident but am actually quite shy and that 'brave' front means I am often misunderstood! :-(
Distance is no big issue if the chemistry is there!
About her ideal match
Looking for a reasonably tall (like to wear heels sometimes), interesting guy with opinions and ability to hold a good conversation. Sense of humour very important...the ability to laugh at himself essential! Kind, caring, honest with integrity and desire to share time and adventures! Please no tattoos!
We don't need to enjoy doing all the same things but accept the others interests and activities....its part of them.
Accept that at this stage in our lives we've lived another life with all thats come with that, but be prepared to share a new phase and make new memories.
