In Her Own Words
About her
My friends would definitely say I’m enthusiastic; whatever I decide to do I throw myself wholeheartedly into it. My take on life is you get out what you put in to it. I have an inquisitive mind and love learning, doesn't matter what, as long as it interests me. I'm a people person but I especially love animals. Definitely the outdoorsy type, enjoy skiing, walking, learnt to scuba dive about 5 years ago; body boarding, used to ride when I was younger and love horses and dogs. I’m currently following the Vendee Globe and enjoying every minute of it.
In diving I’ve found my new passion, well, that and skiing. Not sure which one I prefer the most although age and relative fitness makes me feel diving is easier! Other things I enjoy: boating, go karting, nice pubs, watching live rugby, socialising, going to gigs. I also love cuddling up, watching a movie and just chilling.
I enjoy driving and touring; love travelling and visiting new places.
My passions in life: apart from my family the mountains. The French Alps or Italian Dolomites. Whether hiking in them in the summer or skiing in the winter - I just love them. The awe I have for them is coupled with great respect and just a tinge of fear, all adds to the excitement of being amongst them!
My other passion is the sea – have I already mentioned that?? I go body boarding when I can and have been known to go in on New Year's day. I’m in heaven in it, under it or on it. My friends live on a boat and I’m as happy scrubbing the deck as I am sat out having the odd sundowner…or two! I'm definitely not a fair weather friend. This whole new world under the sea I’ve so recently discovered has made me wish I’d come to it years ago – but then would I have taken it up when I was younger? Growing older has made me feel we can’t put off for another time something we keep meaning to do. Carpe Diem should be my motto.
About her ideal match
A perfect day for me would be any of these:
• body boarding whatever the weather – depends on the swell but I have plenty of wetsuits!
• a walk on the beach/quiet country walk kicking up leaves/good old hike up a hill followed by lunch in a country pub with a good beer or glass of red and a roaring fire.
• Sunday at home, sitting down to a long leisurely roast with close friends and cracking jokes with a good red. I may not be the best cook but can throw a good dinner party!
I’m pretty down to earth and easygoing, interested in what’s going on around me. I’ve been told I’m good company and can chat about quite a few things, just not politics (although I have been watching intently the fall of Trump!) I can scrub up well and can hold my head up high at any social event ¬but I’m not high maintenance. I’m older and wiser and not looking for needless drama, conflict or stress but saying that I’m extremely compassionate and supportive when times get tough. I like to think I have reasonably high emotional intelligence and would hope for the same in a life partner.
What am I looking for in a man? All the usual clichés I suppose but above all others the ability to make each other laugh. There should be no sense of competition or one-upmanship; it's about equality and mutual respect. Trust and loyalty obviously. A sense of adventure and curious nature. Understanding and compassion when things aren't always going to plan and the ability to look back and laugh at our mistakes. Good communication: being able to discuss issues in a rational and mature manner and then move forward. Oh, and finally…..a twinkle in your eye, a lovely smile.
I have things in my life I’m so very grateful for:
• My family and friends. They’ve never ceased to inspire me and make me laugh through life’s journey.
• My resilience and strength to remain positive
• My health, stamina and love of life.
