In Her Own Words
About her
It will be fun for the most part.
You won't be bored....or, at the other extreme - fear for your life/pet bunny etc.
Born and bred as a Silhillian, in the then, very green and pleasant (albeit parochial) environs of Solihull. My peers were all keen to marry and settle down A.S.A.P.
However, having absorbed my father's pre marriage, Naval tales, throughout my childhood, travelling the Americas, Africa and The Far East etc. I longed for adventure.
So aged 23, I fled, devil may care, to The Colonies, where I remained in exile for some years before handing myself over to the authorities. Eventually, obtaining citizenship on my own terms (as opposed to marrying) and spending most of my adult life, residing in the Tropics, usually creating beauty in one form or another... I did actually work my tail off, between all the hedonism. That is until my parents' health began to fail.
Then, for the next 10 years, I became an expert in acquiring frequent flyer points. Returning to Solihull 3 times or more a year to nurture, encourage, slay the vultures and keep house.
In between, I learned Option Trading, continued personal styling and took up selling Diamonds.
My view was usually that of Palm Trees framing The Great Barrier Reef. As I write this, I wonder what the hell I am doing here..... but I have a plan!
It has not been an orthodox life, it's had its merits and not. I am keen to evolve further. Share books, art, film, gardens, experiences. After a long hiatus, it's time to find a fellow adventurer, of good repute, with whom to share life.
The benefit for you, is that I am a pretty good cook, a good pal, won't crowd you, will fluff up the pillows and if we connect, have a meaningful exchange.
I am aware of my values - what brings everlasting joy, peace, pleasure and what is just hedonism, how to balance the two, without detriment to self...or anyone else for that matter. So if you're up for an outing, a gliding lesson or even just a quiet cup of tea and a sarnie...Get your kit on, I'm starving, let's go!!
About her ideal match
Grounded with integrity.
Possibly an introvert.
Wise, quietly compassionate, enjoys the simple pleasure of staying at home together, gardening and then cooking up a storm, as well as the odd adventure further afield.
Loyal, old fashioned. How about a Rumpole with an Oak panelled study who will enhance my education with discussions on Ethics or Law or Kant or Quantum Physics or Austin Healeys or Organic Gardening or....a retired Engineer who can teach me how to put up a shelf or an Antique Dealer, a gem cutter/fossicker. It's not that important.
Truly, someone who is comfortable in their own skin, is considerate of others, enjoys walks in nature and is reasonably flexible in their thinking......Oh yes, who thinks I am the Bees Knees ; )
