In Her Own Words
About her
I’m a kind, honest and easy going lady who likes to make the most of life and to have fun wherever possible. I’ll have a go at most things and even tried paddle boarding last year which was semi successful unlike the wind surfing I tried later 🙈.
I’m well travelled and like to explore new places in the uk and abroad (I toured Vietnam and Cambodia in January). A place I’ve been to many times is Madeira where I never tire of the dramatic scenery, amazing food (I’ve sussed out the best places!) and friendly people. I’ve been on my own a couple of times over the last few years and I’ll never get used to saying those dreaded words “table for one please” 🥴
I like to have things in the diary to look forward to but also can be spontaneous- if the sun is shining and I don’t have much on, I might jump on a train to London or drive down to the coast.
I enjoy the theatre, cinema, going out for meals, music and cooking. I keep fit by going to regular exercise classes and walk 2 or 3 times a week with local walking groups - which always end in a pub or cafe !
As you can see I’m trying to keep myself busy while waiting for that special person.
My stated age is genuine and all photos were taken in the last year.
About her ideal match
They would need to be kind and genuine.
Someone with a good sense of humour so we can form a partnership where we make each other laugh and see the lighter side of life.
Someone who has an energy for life but also enjoys the simple things when shared with a partner.
I want us both to feel we can just be ourselves where there’s easy conversation, where you both feel heard and understood.
Am I asking for too much ? Time will tell.
