In Her Own Words

About her

Considered to be somewhat unconventional, non-conformist & slightly introverted, looking for someone to share some of my interests: photography, photo editing & restoration, graphics & computing in general, reading, walking in the nearby Peak District and Italy, wildlife, pets, gardening, DIY, music, Italy, genealogy, the Sussex/Dorset coast, travel - but avoiding Brits abroad, sailing (definitely not cruises) & visiting friends & family and my small bolt-hole in Italy.

I have a good, but 'selective' sense of humour!

Brought up in S. London & lived in Kent until the late 80's, then seconded through work to Yorkshire & stayed. I worked in Kuwait for a year & lived/worked in Milan, Italy for 3. I miss the south but cannot afford to move back! Most of my remaining family live in Shropshire. I have just lost an Uncle who has an MBE for founding a wildlife hospital near Chichester.

I worked as a consultant Civil/Highway Engineer all my life, but am now retired. I have a small second home in Umbria, Italy, which I am continuing to renovate and trying to tame a sloping field of clay!. I presently spend about a third of my year there.

I sold my beloved MX5 as I was probably getting too old to look cool in it, plus I no longer drive 100 miles a day, so it got little use (sobs!). I now have a 'sensible, very boring' runaround plus a smallish 4x4 in Italy.

A gadget freak.... Lots of digital cameras and all things Apple. I like making and wearing chunky silver jewellery and prefer loose ethnic type clothing, preferably black. I can look smart & trendy when appropriate, though not altogether comfortable when dressed to kill. Certainly not into pleated skirts & twin sets! I am barefoot most of the time & long for warm weather so I can wear sandals again without looking ridiculous! I like to think of myself as an ageing hippy - but, who am I kidding - really?

About her ideal match

He would have an interest in travelling/living abroad - Italy preferably, or near to or on the south coast - West Sussex westwards.
He would have a strong personality to cope with mine!
He would be a practical man who can turn his hand or have a go at most things.
He would like/love animals, pets (dogs, cats, horses) & wildlife
He would dislike football and be bored by golf, but enjoy cricket, baseball, rugby, sailing, tennis & F1, but not be a couch potato.
He would have similar tastes to me i.e. a love of Italy or France, travel, wildlife, photography, music, computing etc.
He would be a kindred spirit, I am initially looking for companionship & friendship & like-minded interests and intellect rather than a physical touchy/feely relationship, though I realise this could be a big 'turn off' for most men. If anything develops from this - so be it.

Very pro EU, so Brexiteers…. Don’t bother! This lady is not for turning….
