In Her Own Words
About her
What I am is a whole mixture of things - so, normal I guess. Upbeat, bright and optimistic. In possession of a social conscience, I count my blessings and pick my battles. Music is part of my world. I sing in a couple of choirs - in London and on the island, hit a drum in a samba band, and I dance (I love to dance) salsa and kizomba. I dabble with playing some instruments but need to work harder on that.
Tried stand up paddleboarding - wobbly but fun. I have just completed my first year of regular sea swimming - nobody is more surprised than I am that I swam through the cold months. Am hopeless at gardening and card games, but would like to learn to play backgammon. Walking and getting to gym classes keeps me fit and energised and ready to take on the world.....after a cuppa....or a glass of something chilled.
I live on an island, with a decent moat around me, but am not held captive and can travel. There are ferries - sailing in both directions. It's lovely here and there are many other lovely places I'd like to see. Having moved from London more than 7 years ago I now have the best of both worlds, living by the sea and travelling . For now I live in front of a beach and it makes me smile every day. Lots of things make me smile.
About her ideal match
Attraction is unfathomable - it either is or it isn't there. But what I would hope for from a partner? Kindness, fun, tolerance, open mindedness, warmth. Someone who is quietly confident about who they are and willing to take time to allow me to find out too. Honesty and emotional availability/maturity rank highly with me also, as does laughter....a lot of laughter. Twinkly eyes, a warm smile and the ability to make me want to kiss him.
It would be lovely if you wanted to sweep me into your arms and dance around the kitchen sometimes....just because.
