In Her Own Words
About her
Hello and thank you for stopping by.
I am at a new stage in my life, and looking for a partner in crime to share it (friends along the way are welcome).
So... things you should know about me: I’m 5’ 2” in stockinged feet, and I rarely wear heels. I have been described as quirky. I am left-handed, which may account for my apparent contradictions - good with an artist pad and a hammer (not at the same time) practical and a daydreamer, talkative and reflective. I have a love of words, and enjoy reading and listening to books of all kinds. I am drawn to the river and sea. I recently sold up in Surrey relocating to Oxfordshire, and now seeking a permanent home somewhere along the Thames.
My music tastes have not changed much in the last 30 or so years: largely 1960s/1970s rock, folk, singer-songwriters, although I have a number of more recent favourites. One or two of my music heroes might be considered slightly off-the-wall.... you can ask me later. Some opera sets my soul on fire, and I would love to share that experience. I like small venue concerts - Royal Festival Hall and Royal Albert Hall are particular favourites.
I am loyal, compassionate, an eternal optimist (why else would I be here?), close to my family, full of fun, active but not sporty. I like summer, cats, crafts, classic movies, mid-century stuff, France, gardens & countryside, animals (not caged), music, theatre, museums, art galleries, books & poetry, Sunday papers, Matisse nudes, discussing stuff, laughing, weekends away. I like nice things, although I am not materialistic; and I appreciate good restaurants and fine hotels, but find it’s often the simple things in life that hold the greatest appeal.
If any of this appeals, you know what to do...

About her ideal match
Shared values and a compatible outlook on life are important to me, as is a sense of humour. A delight in the absurd (James Thurber, David Sedaris) would be good! I do like a man who is as happy in a suit as a pair of jeans. I also find intelligence very sexy. And if you would, on occasion, see fit to read poetry to me... well, that would be the icing on the cake.
