In Her Own Words
About her
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain...
I'm half dutch, open, honest, caring and passionate. I'm also strawberry blonde, curvy and sassy so if you're looking for skinny then pass to the next profile!
I am lucky to have travelled all over the world for business and pleasure, have had some amazing jobs and now find myself doing something which I love and which keeps me very busy. I guess to a certain extent I relish my independence and respect other peoples so finding someone who is likeminded is important. I currently split my time between Yorkshire and the South Coast but I've lived by the sea for many years, and consider it vital to my efferfescent state of mind and a tonic for the soul, especially on a blustery, wintery day.
I love music of most persuasions, especially live whether in the local pub or the Isle of Wight festival, love time with family and friends and my wonderful god-children, and of course adore good food, wine and great company.
In an ideal world I'm looking for a guy who thinks like this...
"the only women for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..."
Just need a man who's up to the challenge...
About her ideal match
Like most of us I would like to meet someone to have some fun and share life's many brilliant adventures, someone who has lived a little and isn't quite ready for a pipe and slippers just yet! Someone who likes to laugh and can make me smile, and believes life is for living. I'd love to find someone who is strong, comfortable in their own skin, and happy to be in a wide variety of situations - from formal dinners and receptions to a spit and sawdust pub with a great band playing in the corner.
Someone who wants more than 'show up naked with beer and pizza', someone who enjoys the outdoors, who takes care of themselves but is not addicted to the gym, can be spontaneous and yet organised, and who is passionate on multiple levels is a must.
Naturally I'd love all this to ultimately lead to something "more", but I'm in no rush and would like to be with someone who is happy to take each day as it comes without needing to second guess how everything will turn out. I'm hoping you'll be kind, laid back, funny, have a strong sense of self, and be looking for a brilliant friendship which could surprise us both one day by becoming something more.
