In Her Own Words
About her
I moved to Totnes 5 years ago, and love Devon life! I’m an optimistic extrovert and thrive on hanging out with family & friends and meeting new people. My friends say I’m kind, patient, curious and non-judgemental.
I’ve lived abroad and I love travelling and exploring new places, while savouring their cuisine, arts, history and traditions. I’m intellectually curious and have continued learning for both personal and professional development.
My favourite day would start walking by the river, followed by tennis with friends before heading out for coffee &/or lunch. Afternoons are either spent volunteering locally, with my grandson, or waging war against the seemingly never ending list of jobs to do in the garden! I love to cook, so in the evenings you’ll often find me testing out a new recipe on friends & family, who also live locally, before finishing off the day in front of a gripping crime drama. That being said, I’m never one to miss out on the opportunity of dancing to some good live music, or catching a movie at an independent cinema too!
I’m lucky to say I have a very full and fulfilling life, and being single hasn’t held me back from experiencing everything I possibly can! I have, however, reached a stage where I would like someone to share new experiences with, in the way you can’t with friends, and as my daughter said to me: "You can’t just sit on the shelf in the back of the shop, Mum, you’ve got to go shopping!" So here I am ..!
About her ideal match
I would love to meet someone with a friendly attractive personality, who is genuinely interested in building a strong friendship that would form the basis for a deep, honest and long lasting relationship. Ideally you would share my characteristics of being outgoing, open minded, non-judgemental, curious and keen to continue learning. I would respect somebody with independent interests, and trust you would do the same, but hope we could enjoy exploring new experiences and adventures together.
My family and friends are of the utmost importance to me, and time with my young grandson is something I enjoy greatly, so someone who shares these family values is a must! I'm still very young at heart, and have no interest in putting my slippers on by the fire just yet, so I’d like someone who’s still up for lots of fun new experiences, sharing lots of laughs along the way, while growing a genuine and lasting connection.
