In Her Own Words
About her
I'm quite happy with life really, but a knight in shining armour would still be welcome. I'm not quite ready to settle down to cosy TV dinners: still looking upwards and outwards.
I'm reasonably fit and walk/hike, cycle and sail regularly. I'm not keen on skiing - I just thought I'd mention that as so many people post photos of themselves on mountains. Brought up in West London and Cornwall, I'm now based on the south coast, and do feel the need to at least see the sea every day.
I have no baggage other than a somewhat quirky family - who hasn't?. I have one son, who is now grown, has a good job and and hasn't turned out too badly at all, if I do say so myself.
So I only have myself to worry about now. I still work a little to keep my brain in gear and pay for life's little extras, but thankfully not as many manic hours as in the past.
You won't find me hanging around nightclubs. I much prefer a place where you can have a conversation - preferably over a glass or three of wine and almost definitely near the sea.
I'm still an idealist and hoping to save the world.
About her ideal match
Kind, clever, considerate, impulsive, fair-minded, optimistic, hopefully a better cook than me, and not taking himself too seriously.
I'd like to think he'd always reply to messages, if only with a one liner.
