In Her Own Words

About her

Why should people get to know me?
Well...
According to my best friend, it's time I found someone. She describes me as a wonderful person who is worth getting to know...I think she exaggerates- I'm human...
I'm a semi- retired professional musician...I'm 'on the fiddle ' as they say. Had a varied career as an orchestral player including playing for opera, ballet and recording for TV and film. Latterly as a music lecturer and teacher. I still play professionally- if the programme is tempting.
I love cats and furries of all kinds. Early married life saw me as a Farmer's Wife- so I can milk a cow, catch a piglet and pluck a pheasant. Not keen on slugs and slimy things- animal or human!
I'm an excellent cook and love cooking for friends - my repertoire runs from beans on toast to fine dining- and wedding cakes. Wine is also a passion- a few years ago I was awarded a WSET diploma ... the homework and revision for the exam was very rewarding...

My outlook on life has changed considerably over the last nine years- nursing my terminally ill husband and raising a young child has made me more family- centred and compassionate and less centred on myself. Son is in his final year of University - it's time for me to explore new pastures... metaphorically I think - farming is a distant memory- not sure I can remember how to drive a tractor!
I enjoy going to the theatre , concerts, museums and galleries. I like to potter around antique shops and reclamation yards.

About her ideal match

Looking for a kind, thoughtul and loving man.Not too bothered about looks as we all begin to look a bit 'worn' in our mid to late 50's.
A love of classical music is essential- I'm not really fond of anything written after 1827. I love going to concerts- orchestral, chamber music, choral and opera. I'm also keen on ballet,
I've recently taken up the harp - I'm not particularly good, but really enjoy playing. It enables me to understand how my beginner pupils feel when presented with technical difficulties. I enjoy singing, but haven't belonged to a choir for over 20 years-my late husband, a professional opera singer, said I had the voice of a tabby cat....so I kept quiet after that! Something I'm quite keen on reviving.
I love fine dining and wine...I have a diploma in Wine tasting.
I'm not 'sporty', but can enjoy the odd rugby match from the comfort of a warm clubroom or sofa.
Someone who shares an interest in theatre going, museums and art galleries and pottering around antique shops.
I love all animals, particularly fond of cats...but I'm not a mad cat-woman - I am only owned by one! I love dogs, but my current lifestyle limits dog ownership. ( Very fond of spaniels and would love a Newfie)
In summation:I think I'm looking for a gentleman with interests in music, food, wine... and music ...
