In Her Own Words
About her
Because after a long and varied life I still want to seize the day. Love and laughter , sunrise , sunset , moonlight, candlelight ,starry skies.
I worked in the arts in eduction for many years and through my special approach moved into pastoral and community work.
When a child became sick and I had to be at home , I retrained in agriculture and horticulture and restored and ran a small holding.( That’s the synopsis.)
I no longer care for sick relatives or have them living me. I love being with my daughters and grandchildren when we can get together.
I go to classes in ballet , and tai chi. I practise pilates , alexander technique and belly dance, I also swim.
I am into strolling not hiking .
I write poetry and I perform it.
I have an ethnically mixed background which gives me the privilege of having no prejudices except against those of right wing politics who disseminate hate. So no conservatives or right of centrists .
I have strong views about politics and the world but nothing that fits in a simple box.
Every day is a gift , to grab and go wild or chill and be mellow.
I am happy to have time alone use it to garden , write , dance or just dream.
I also love to be with friends and family to eat , talk , go out or stay in and occasionally party…
Cooking is a way to show love to friends and family.
I read … a lot …eclectically …
I find time to be quiet in nature because it gives spiritual uplift.
I have driven the length of France and Spain driving for four hours or so and finding hidden villages , staying the night and moving on or staying.
Doing something like that with someone special would be lovely…..
..I laugh a lot… because I always seem to end up in bizarre situations… …because you have to…and with friends.
I do not do infidelity .. mine or anyone else’s… no judgement but by now I know what suits me.
That’s enough for now ..if this interests or intrigues you get in touch ..if not ..go safely.
My photos are from 2023 ,2024 and 2025. 1,6, 7, 8 and9 are May ,August ,September and October 2025.
About her ideal match
This is not a prescriptive list …some of these traits would be great …all ….fantasy ! ? !
.A man who laughs a lot.
A man with no prejudices. No conservatives or right of centre types.
A man who loves the arts, nature and people.
A man who is sensitive empathetic to others .
Someone who has a relaxed attitude to life and the little things.
A man happy to stroll not hike when we are together.
A man who would dance with me even if it is mainly in the kitchen but preferably …anywhere…
‘ I would dance if you asked me,
I would let you be my hero..’
A man who can enjoy poetry ,candle light and fire light.
OK all a bit schmaltzy….but a girls gotta dream….
A man who would have his own interests and happy for me to have mine but has enough in common to make us compatible. Who would be happy to live separately but spend lots of time together then who knows?
A man who likes socialising but also would like time alone as a couple.
Who likes to sit by a log fire ,chat about the day or just hold each other and just be.
A man who loves good food and wine but is happy also to have romantic meals at home.
A man who reads and loves the theatre ,and music.
A man who can laugh even and especially when life throws a spanner in the works.
Who would swim with me in warm seas and stroll through winding streets with red tiled roofs….
share food in market squares and harbour sides..
A heart ,mind ,body and soul man….well we all have to dream…(sound of flying pigs….)
A man believes in fidelity and truthfulness .
Hopefully starting with friendship and going with the flow.
No swinging from chandeliers any more but passion and desire would be lovely.
A sense of humour and twinkle in the eye would be a good start….
