In Her Own Words
About her
My username is what I can see out of my window to the left and my 'headline' the details off a ticket stub stuck to the study wall.
The flowers are utterly gorgeous of course and remind me of the Med - those dusty, dry summer days in quiet, terracotta villages where a street bistro serves sharp, white wine while a blissful warm wind rustles the geraniums precariously balanced in window boxes above. The ticket? Well that's from a cold night one January a few years ago when a few local footballers played their socks off and their hearts out and surprised us all.
As it's winter now the flowers will be tucked up soon but I still have my daydreams of warmer climes. Wellies out now for the muddy lanes and Adnams by an open fire, not a terracotta terrace, but mighty fine all the same. After a brisk walk indulge in a heady red and a good book and the cold days will pass again.
Less of my dreams and the things I enjoy. As a person, I'm really easy going, laissez faire, but not prepared to play 'second fiddle'. I think a lot, am widely read and am an avid R4 listener/ C4 News watcher. I admire clever and committed people and don't go in for deference but happy to admire intellectuals though I'm not one myself, I just like learning.
I work with words in the public sector and now, with shorter hours, looking forward to volunteering post Covid, going to freebies at UEA and getting into a few new hobbies I've never had time for.
I'm happy, I've been lucky in life, my children are fab but a new, kind, male friend would be lovely.
About her ideal match
I'd like you to be happy, bright, sharp, tolerant, funny and kind too.
And ideally inquisitive, eager to keep learning and never dull, shallow or narrow minded.
I'd like you to be left leaning politically and find out that you care about your community, doing the right thing by everyone.
I would like to hear your considered opinions and reasoned arguments.
In my perfect world you would like to hold hands.
