Alex is fit, fun, sexy and intelligent. She loves swimming in the sea; book club and beer; walking and wine. We all have a lot of laughs in the pub, or at home cooking and chatting over dinner. She has a successful career in a caring profession and is therefore an interesting and listening person. Don't take advantage of that good nature! She also knows her own mind.

Her ideal partner has a lot to live up to! He must match her in wit and wisdom; he will be mature, active, and strong, both physically and mentally. Of course he needs a sense of humour - and kindness - but just as important is the ability to live life to the full, to look forward and outward and always be amazed and interested in what you find.

Here is a true life story, entitled 'Woe betide those who miss the tide!', Some years ago we holidayed together in North Cornwall with our children aged 2-6. One wind swept day we took them for a walk across the rocks . As we collected shells and investigated rock pools we failed to notice either the frantic waving on the beach, or the rising tide, or the fact that we were indeed heading out to sea!
Eventually we looked up and realised the tide was coming in fast and we were about to be cut off. Immediate desperate action was needed! I took the 2 older children to the safety of the higher rocks. Alex remained with the two little ones , perched on her rock, remaining calm while in peril of the rapidly advancing sea. Alex gathered the little ones up as I returned and we waded waist deep through the deepening water.
A kind family arrived to check we were all ok. Ok? Yes of course! Soaked, shivering and shaking, we headed for the nearest cafe for coffee and cake. We laughed a little hysterically at our close encounter with the flooding water; our children thought it was a great holiday adventure.

The children have left home, but the adventures continue: the Moonwalk in London; diving in Egypt; exploring the outback in Australia. What next?
