In Her Own Words
About her
Lifelong interests include literature, theatre and the arts, walking, swimming, singing, travel, friends and family. I have 2 adult sons and 2 grand children.
Since Covid, I spend a few months in France each summer.
I enjoy discovering hidden corners of London or pretty much anywhere, including for free or on a shoestring. I like anything with coconut and/or fresh lime juice, sitting round the firepit in the garden on a summer's evening with a glass of wine, or any film/play with Juliette Binoche.
I scribble a bit. Quite a lot these days actually. I write a travel and culture substack and I'm still working on the novel.
I've ticked a fair few things off my must see and do list. Although there's more travel, singing and so on to do, right now (maybe because it's autumn and the start of long, dark nights) I find it's the little things about downtime at home with a partner that I miss, like cooking and eating together, sharing a bottle of wine, someone to make me a cup of coffee etc etc. If pushed, I would say that those are the sorts of things that it's easy to take for granted, the things that you don't know you've got til they're gone (sounds like a song?).
Having said that, I do need time to myself in my own space to recharge my batteries from time to time, and so I'm most likely to be looking for a stable live apart together type relationship.
If any of that strikes a chord with you, then it would be good to hear from you.
About her ideal match
Someone who's happy in their own skin, confident enough from having had a successful career, but still with more to see and do in the next stage of life.
Mutual support is important to me.
Some common interests are always a good starting point, but I'm interested in learning about a potential new partner's interests too, and might enjoy exploring a new activity or writer or place. Someone who is involved in some form of creative endeavour (but not impoverished) would be more likely to hit it off with me.
A sense of humour is essential.
