In Her Own Words
About her
I am bright, intelligent and funny (according to my friends), I love life, good food (both eating and cooking), friends, entertaining, travelling, and working on my allotment as well as reading, the theatre, the countryside, laughing and living. I am independent and positive in outlook and work hard running my own business which I set up 22 years ago.
I was born and brought up in Cape Town and moved to England in the late 70's. My up bringing has given me a long lasting love of open spaces, mountains, sand and sea. I have be fortunate enough to have travelled quite extensively but there are still many places that I would love to see.
My likes are varied and many. My dislikes are few - I hate pomposity, hypocrisy, dishonesty and green peppers.
I love scented flowers, good wine, crosswords and word games.
Music is a big passion both live and recorded. I enjoy singing (on my own mostly in the car) and get enormous pleasure from growing my own vegetables and flowers.
I love Georgian architecture and prefer classic to contemporary in most things. Although if carefully combined the styles can work really well together.
In an ideal world I would love to find someone who would be just as happy to spend an evening at the opera as to spending time helping me out on the allotment. I rate companionship, kindness and the ability to laugh together very highly
About her ideal match
Are you someone who is gentle, kind and generous of spirit and a gentleman in the true sense of the word? Do you have a keen intellect with a variety of interests, in music, theater, literature, and an ability to laugh? Are you comfortable in your own skin? Do you enjoy the company of friends as well as being able to enjoy being home alone? Have you traveled far and wide and still want to travel a bit further? Then perhaps we should meet for a little glass of wine.... and see what happens??
