In Her Own Words
About her
My happy place is in the countryside.
I love my family, friends and my dogs of course (age 7 and 10) who were my childrens pets before they left home.
ALL photos 2025 /26
I'm a widow with two adult children (son & daughter). I have a keen interest in the countryside, wildlife, and conservation.
A professional design career in exhibitions & commercial interiors, mostly for the energy sector. More recently I had a non-teaching role in the print workshop of a secondary college in Devon.
Well-traveled at home and abroad. Loving long dog walks, seeing family, meeting friends, some art and craft, bird watching/listening, garden design and volunteering.
I'm a left of centre girl politically.
About her ideal match
My ideal match? Jeff Bridges?😄
Seriously, looks are important, but there will be something in your profile that attracts my attention. Your love of nature and wildlife?
My ideal match will save me from here.
I'm looking for a man around my own age as my late husband was much older than me. I'm finding that men my age want younger women 🤷🏼.
