In Her Own Words
About her
My attitude to life is 'Fortune Favours The Brave', so (within reason - and Health & Safety permitting) I'll give it a try. In August 2022 I walked the Tour du Mont Blanc - over 100 miles in 8 days through France, Switzerland and Italy. Now that was quite a stretch, and much more enjoyable on reflection! I like the usual: seeing friends, travel, walking, galleries, gardening, reading, getting done up for the occasional 'do', etc. Nurturing the lovely, strong relationships I have with my two grown-up kids is extremely important to me. My close friendships have been long-lasting and are mutually valued.
An odd pursuit is that I enjoy the huge challenge of replicating Old Masters in oil paint, using pigments available at that time. Beware, the Turner on your wall might be one of mine...
I keep fit and look after myself, trying not to abuse my body with too much of anything - it's hard to get a replacement!
With the right stimulus, I'm a good conversationalist, warm, smart, funny, great company AND I'm kind to animals. Perfect, or what?
Photos were taken within the past year, apart from the one with a blue top on, which was 2020. The picture with a recently-painted van Gogh, was taken in April 2023.
About her ideal match
I've yet to meet my ideal match, but if you are curious about me from my written profile, rather than having plugged in 'Any' for the majority of female characteristics, that's a good start. If you have a full and rewarding life, but are hoping to enhance it with the right person, in whatever form that takes, that's also my aim. We may share some interests, as it's good to have some common ground, but more importantly, you are still open to new experiences, which could be as simple as sharing a nice bottle of wine and a natter. You have a sense of fun, can smile at the absurdities of life, and enjoy its everyday small pleasures. The most interesting thing about you isn't your car or yacht but, maybe, that you could tell me why Bleak House is worth finishing.You have retained your curiosity, but not your heavy-weight baggage. You're not looking for a substitute mother, carer, therapist, nor a wife (I don't wish to marry again). Like me, you may have had a successful career/business background. Fervent politicians of any persuasion need not apply. I only go to church to admire the stained glass windows, although I'd hear out a Buddhist. You can pay your way, as can I. Well, that deals with the taboos of politics, religion and money, which leaves...
I don't do casual sex, so if that's your prime objective, please move along swiftly. However, if you're wearing a tuxedo - erm maybe...
That should frighten most of you off!
