In Her Own Words
About her
What would you like to know in a few words? If we were at a party we would smile and chat and gradually get to know each other. You would notice that I'm lively, bright, slightly unconventional, thoughtful, sporty, friendly, fit, fun and happy.
Things I like... my friends, nature, sailing, skiing, travel, tennis, pilates, jive, eating out, old jeans, new boots, cooking, marmite on toast, country pubs, dogs, a good book, springtime, rugby internationals, low budget films where nothing much happens and the characters are interesting, live music, theatre, good punctuation, cold beer on a hot day, sunshine, being by the sea, hugs, kisses, the smell of cut grass... I could go on.
Things I don't like... marzipan, goat's cheese, loud bars, text abbreviations (must be getting old), spitting in the street, shopping for no reason, badly behaved computers. Luckily, I can avoid most of these things except the computer so on the whole I'm cheerful and happy. My glass is always half full.
About her ideal match
The ideal man... it would be a mistake to be too specific. You need to be intelligent, interested and interesting, honest and open with a ready smile, sense of humour and a healthy respect for your body. Warmth, kindness, and great communication are important to me. Integrity is an essential quality.
What matters most is the spark between us, not just attraction although that's important. It's the spark that means we bounce off each other and banter and smile, laugh together, be quiet together and can be best friends. Please drop me a line if any of this appeals. I am happy to meet for a coffee or a drink, to see how we get on. New friend or more? You know what they say, nothing ventured...
