In Her Own Words
About her
Hi there - nice of you to drop by!
I am an energetic, bouncy lady with a positive approach to life. For me the glass is overflowing, not just half full!
I enjoy spontaneous outings as well as planned events. I tend to be a dress down person rather than a dress up. My normal Saturday morning routine includes getting up early and going for a barefoot paddle and watch the sunrise. Not that I would insist you join me, I am also comfortable in my own skin and enjoy just being me.
I eat healthily most of the time, but enjoy a wide range of foods.
I work in IT and love the comradeship of the workplace. I also do internet marketing. When my late husband was sick, we learnt a lot about alternative health therapies, and I have continued that study. I can curl up with a good book for hours. I am a keen walker. I particularly enjoy gardens - other peoples! I love walking in the New Zealand bush. I love visiting stately homes in Britain.
I have a lovely family - living locally, independently.
I currently live in Auckland, but am willing to spend part of a year living elsewhere - Britain for preference!
About her ideal match
My ideal match is bright, warm, kind and can make me laugh! I would like someone who is enthusiastic about going places and doing new things. I used to have a boarder who would cook, clean, go for walks and enjoy 'Masterchef' with me - that was super! Ideally, I would like you to have a hobby which I may or may not be able to share, but which gives you a buzz.
I don't like swearing, so if your everyday language should be bleeped out, we would not suit.
Values are very important to me - honesty, kindness, acceptance and 'do as you would be done by'.
