In Her Own Words
About her
I am a warm, loving, affectionate and loyal person who is more country than town, more open air than lounging on a sofa, although I do watch some TV. I am passionate about good food and I enjoy cooking but also eating out. I consider myself very open, and a bit of a free spirit. My family are very important to me - I have a son and a daughter + a feisty granddaughter (I wonder where that comes from!). My close girlfriends are also very important to me. I have a positive outlook on life and very much live in the moment which I have found really liberating. I aim to to grow older disgracefully, having fun and living life to the full. I am definitely young at heart - age is just a number after all - but my granddaughter calls me "a funny old bird!"
I currently work full time, both for my son + as an obesity & body confidence coach and Eating Disorders therapist, working mainly with women. But I have a long bucket list to get through too!!
I love travelling, swimming in the sea and the local river, live music and open air picnic concerts as well as live theatre. I sing in my local Rock Choir which I love.
I have developed a very positive outlook on life after it threw me a whole heap of curved balls, although that is now well and truly in the past.. However, I do miss male company & conversation, as well as being in a loving relationship and part of a couple. I am sociable & enjoy seeing friends. Having said that, I've realised that I also enjoy time on my own these days so I am quite independent..
I am a mix of conventional and unconventional, spiritual rather than religious, and young at heart - I still feel 25 in my head! My friends and family say I'm full of surprises .....(actually my daughter says I'm weird!) but life is too short to be boring! Life has to be grabbed and enjoyed.
About her ideal match
I am looking for a kind, gentle, intelligent, chatty & tactile man man who is sociable, fun, loving and outgoing, oh and young at heart even if the body is complaining sometimes! And a minimum of 6ft tall please as I am 5.10"; that really is the only physical requirement.
A sense of humour is a necessity, but no sarcasm please, and someone who wants to live life to the full, maybe even grow older disgracefully.... So someone who has a sense of fun, enjoys going out and travelling would be great, someone who would enjoy beaches & the countryside as well as more cultural activities. Someone who still has some get-up-and-go and a positive outlook on life.
Loyalty and support are very important to me, in fact a necessity. Plus an understanding that we all need our own space at times, after all men are from Mars and women from Venus, so it is not necessary to do everything together.
I believe people either click or they don't...I guess that's what they call chemistry... but I am open minded. Sometimes opposites attract!
