In Her Own Words
About her
I am vivacious, warm, friendly and outgoing and really am a very optimistic person. I am happy in my own company, but I miss being in a warm and caring relationship since the death of my partner a little over 7 years ago. I am hoping to find that special person to share the next phase in our lives, travelling and exploring, both in the UK and in the wider world. I love travelling but am always glad to come back to my wonderful north Devon coast.
I love our wonderful towns and countryside and I walk, read, sing in a choir and volunteer at musical memories, supporting people living with Dementia and their carers. (This has allowed me to find my inner entertainer and develop a sense of fun which I never really new existed!).
I am very interested in history and archeology and try to travel to interesting places around the world to see heritage sites. I like to explore places in the UK which have a lot of history too! Autumn and WIntertime are made for long walks on the beach, followed by hot chocolate or mulled wine in front of a roaring fire.
I'm a very positive and sensual person and am very glad to be alive and looking forward to what the future brings! I really hope that I will find a kind and loving man who will enjoy sharing this future with me and who will be pleased I came into his life...Could that person be you?
About her ideal match
I am looking for someone who has a positive attitude towards life. He should be supportive, spontaneous and a good listener because that's what I would be to him. I am quite tactile and would like him to be tactile too. Above all, I hope that he can feel relaxed and happy in my company, and I in his, and that we can share many happy times together. It is important for me that he be proud to introduce me to his family and friends, I would be suspicious of his motives if he failed to do this - definately a deal breaker!
What Her Friends Say
Alison said...
Valerie is a sophisticated lady she has had a number of careers which provided challenge and reward. Her desire to travel means she has embraced many cultures, food and wine. Valerie is a warm caring person always interested in people and this is born out by the volunteer work she does at a local community center providing activities and support for people with dementia and their carers. Not only does she look young she has a lot of energy and a can do attitude to life. Valerie loves to experience new places, is a lover of the arts and enjoys all types of live music.
Whilst being an active member of the community Valerie would love to spend free time with a special someone who enjoys simple pleasures like walking, discovering places of historic / archeological interest whether locally or abroad or just sitting down to a lovely meal out or just at home in front of a film or Antiques Roadshow. She is a good cook !
Despite being well traveled its true to say languages are not Valerie's forte ! When we were in Britanny a few years ago trying to get to a place called Perros-Gurrec we boarded a coach hoping it would take us there. Unfortunately it was chartered to go in the opposite direction. The driver said we had to take ' le car
Valerie exclaimed ' we can't afford a taxi ' No the driver reiterated ' le car , le car. Still came the reply ' but we can't afford a car !' The driver now getting exasperated no ' le car le car he got quite red in the face and began to bang his steering wheel. Finally by this gesture we guessed he meant the bus. Ah Ah now we understand ! The driver breathed a huge sigh of relief and so did we when we finally caught a bus !
