In Her Own Words
About her
Today's walk: in wellington boots and a skirt, I enjoyed seeing the oyster catchers back again. I'm well-spoken (apparently) to which I would add quietly spoken - not easily heard in a busy room. I value the natural world and always have, though unenthusiastic at times about the UK climate. Most recent exhibition was Soil at Somerset House; theatre - it seems ages but stage adaptation of Groundhog Day, I took my children to Les Mis and prior to that it was A Woman of No Importance. I'm currently reading Tracks on the Ocean (Sara Caputo) and re-reading Middlemarch (not sure why really). Next will be a Richard Fortey. I feel I'm compassionate, interested in people and generally cheerful. My focus has been bringing my children up and I prioritised education and school trips over family holidays, but trips away have included to developing countries. More recently, various potential University destinations. Term-times have been very busy for me but extended holiday periods a great luxury...I enjoy pottering in my small garden and currently evenings in front of the fire with a Wentworth puzzle, catching up on some Radio 4 (In Our Time, This Cultural Life, The Life Scientific, The News Quiz). I've been told I'm too giving.
About her ideal match
You are probably fairly content in yourself but would like to share a few parts of life, while acknowledging that some of life's past joys can't be conveyed to someone who just wasn't around at the time. You may have a quiet sense of faith but be happy 'where doubt & faith unite to care'. You probably keep, or have kept, animals. You would be articulate, comfortable chatting over a newspaper but keen to be outside for at least part of the day when the weather allows. You might enjoy the old/traditional when it comes to decor/architecture. You are probably ecologically aware, maybe thinking that your next car will be an electric one. You won't mind guinea pigs cutting the grass instead of a mower - and maybe you are comfortable in cuff links!
