In Her Own Words
About her
I am an intelligent, well educated woman looking for a kind, educated man with a sense of humour, a stable life, and a love of music and the arts in general. I love looking at others' artistic efforts, not my own!. I like history, knitting, gardening, singing (in church especially), am a Parish Councillor and take an active interest in some charitable work.
I was married to an Army officer for nigh on twenty years, have travelled quite a lot, moved around a great deal and met all kinds of people, so feel quite confident socially wherever I am. I have led a varied life which has not been without its challenges, and am now enjoying retirement very much. I have three adult children, and four grand-daughters of 12, 11, 10 and 5; we are a close family and see each other often.
I do not feel any need to have a man to lean on, but would really like a man of similar outlook and values as I think that is all that I am really missing in my life now. I am not into casual relationships, and am not the needy or desperate type. Although I am looking for an interesting man, I would like to find someone who, amid his myriad pursuits, could find some time to spend with me and, just occasionally, put me first (joke). I think so many of life's experiences are so much nicer shared. I also like to think that romance is not dead, at any age. Otherwise I see no point in starting a relationship now.
I have an appreciation for the written word, and enjoy reading (all kinds of literature).
The photographs are only a 'rough guide' as I generally am not at all photogenic, and I am told I look considerably better in real life.
About her ideal match
My ideal match would be kind, easy going, well mannered and generous in spirit. An appreciation of music goes without saying for a regular Classic FM listener, and I also take an interest in current affairs, although this interest is waning somewhat because presently the news is depressing. I maintain an optimistic view of life and aim to live 'my best life' now I am retired.
I appreciate good manners. good conversation and the milk of human kindness more than anything else.
