In Her Own Words
About her
Currently a struggling writer of suspense fiction, in previous lives have been an macro-economic analyst and a bereavement counsellor. Enthusiastically watch tennis and rugby, love walking, yoga. Allergic to cold water so no swimming but might brave sailing. Belong to quizz club. Have owned and love Borzoi hounds, also love cats. Sadly have neither. Struggling to maintain country house and garden in France. House currently on the market to sell - return to UK. So missing theatre, museums, galleries, concerts, jazz, impromptu coffees and supper. Love entertaining family and friends. The word is out that I am trustworthy, loyal, kind, sometimes impulsive and/or impatient, tactile, fun, hard working and always positive.
About her ideal match
Kind, gentle giant (probably) and ultimately honest and trustworthy. Flexible and energetic. Perhaps a neat beard. Shared interests but individual pursuits fine (not prepared to be a 'golf(?) widow'. Football, soaps, most cookery programmes are off my list for viewing but reading, listening to Classic FM & Jazz touching toes would be nice, walking hand in hand window shopping for antiques or visiting places of interest.
