In Her Own Words
About her
Friends say that I’m easy going, warm, chatty, witty, intelligent and energetic. I have a wide range of interests and try to live life to the full, and would like to meet someone to match my zest for life. My greatest passions (in the absence of a soulmate!) are:
▪ good food – growing, cooking, and most importantly, eating it, both out and in
▪ the arts – especially architecture, art, film, theatre, dance
▪ skiing deep fresh powder under sunny skies
▪ outdoor swimming (summer only, I’m not that hearty!)
▪ travel & visiting new places, especially when it involves some of the above
I enjoy being outdoors - having worked for decades behind a desk, I’ve recently turned a hobby into a job as a gardener and absolutely love my new “office”, a stunning place full of beautiful plants, wacky topiary and art.
I’m equally at home in the city and need a regular feed for my inner culture vulture for which I will travel far and wide. I also enjoy making arty stuff and have dabbled in silversmithing, welding, and glass blowing to name but a few.
Other than that I'm grounded, relaxed and rational, as happy in my own company (generally accompanied by radio 4) as with good friends (generally accompanied by great food and chat). I’m a bit of a night owl and am (perhaps too) often the last one standing at a party, sometimes in silly fancy dress.
About her ideal match
Ideally you’ll have an interesting and busy life, but also have time to spare - I work part-time so have lots of time to do fun stuff, hopefully with you.
There's no magic formula, but if some of these apply then that would be a very good start: intelligent, fun to be with, warm, positive, easy going, curious, confident, energetic, honest, creative, grounded, silly. In a nutshell I’d like to meet an all round nice person with a lust for life and an openness to learning, trying, discovering, eating and sharing new things – someone who I would be friends with if we weren’t dating.
You probably live close enough to meet up easily and don’t want a long distance screen-based relationship any more than I do. Finally, I hate to be negative, but am just being realistic that if you're a Mail reader or Brexit supporter then it's unlikely that we'd get on.
