In Her Own Words

About her

So, I have the 'been there, done that' CV. What else then?

Scenario 1
A pod of dolphins were playing around and under the bow of our yacht. The Mediterranean sun sparkled on a flat sea.
' We'll never be as good as this again, ' he said.
She nodded and gazed out beyond the billowing sail, as if seeking to fortune-tell the future.

Scenario 2
There are times when a hug can help - to express the simple joy of seeing a loved one after too long, on a grey drizzly day or when bad news arrives unexpectedly. Sadly, sometimes a hug is not available when we need one. For some people, that's where a dog or a cat comes in. For me, that's where comfort food finds a home. Like fish pie, for instance.
It reminds me of icy days whan I was growing up in London. My father would bundle me up and take me out to the local ponds to see if the ice was thick enough to stand on. It never was. But those were days when a coal fire welcome, and the smell of a pie baking in the oven, warmed my heart and my hands when we returned home.

Fact or fiction? You decide.
Occasional fish pie and warm hugs available for the right person. Maybe dolphins too. Dogs are fun but I'm allergic to cats. Elephants are a recent passion. My all time favourite comfort food is dark chocolate.

Some of the standard stuff:
Lifelong interests include literature and the arts, walking, swimming, singing (lots of singing), travel, friends and family. I have 2 adult sons and 2 grand children.
For a long time, I worked at a think tank, then as a consultant, on education and health policy and research. I've been a lecturer, a health educator and a freelance journalist.
Since Covid, I spend a few months in France each summer.
I'm probably going to move further out of London in the next 18 months.
I enjoy discovering hidden corners of London or pretty much anywhere. I like anything with coconut and/or fresh lime juice, sitting round burning coals in the garden on a summer's evening with a glass of wine, or any film/play with Juliette Binoche.
I scribble a bit too.

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 would be more likely to hit it off with me.
A sense of humour is essential.
