In Her Own Words
About her
Well… I do have a quirky sense of humour, and the kindness and sympathy typical of an ex-nurse. I have two crazy dogs and a close circle of friends and family. Having been single for around 4 years now I think it’s time to brave speaking to one of those male species, perhaps even progress to a drink/holding hands/walking the dogs… see how it goes? Might even like each other! Sophie (in my profile name) is a dog… I have no children but have no problem at all if you do.
I recently moved to my first little place alone, and am enjoying the renovations so far. I’ve lived on boats and owned classic cars, so am used to all the repairs and the fun of learning new stuff! Along with most things in the water, I also enjoy a bit of fitness (gym, cycling and running mostly). I do need a bit of a nudge at the moment, so if you’re good at nagging you might be my man! Other interests include gardening (growing a few veg and herbs for dinner), cooking (I’m obviously great!), and eating out.
I work in science but love the arts too. I have quite an eclectic taste in music - punk to Motown to classical to… I play clarinet and sax, and have a mandolin sat in the corner waiting for me to get learning! Can you help? Also enjoy reading and the theatre - a visit to something cultural or a comedy club might be nice? I equally enjoy a night in watching Netflix cuddled on the sofa.
I’m pretty laid back, but can also enjoy a posh night out. My hair colour has changed over the last few years/months, but doesn’t go too mad, and can go back to something sedate if needed! I’ve added a couple of photos now, but hate doing selfies and have few others (the profile pic is a year or so old but was the only one approved as a profile pic - please try to ignore it!)…the others are recent days/weeks/months.
About her ideal match
I’m not expecting my match to be perfect, but it would be nice to be able to have both a good laugh and a fairly intelligent conversation. I would hope for someone kind and caring, and tall enough to reach the shelves that I can’t get to! Sharing activities (such as fitness, DIY, cooking, gardening) I love to do within a relationship. It’s great to pick up from your experience too. I’m equally happy for us to have separate hobbies - if you want to play golf perhaps once a week , I’m really not keen to join in, but please go meet your friends and have fun!
I’m pretty good at negotiating on most things, so let’s see where we go from here.
