In Her Own Words
About her
I am of a happy and optimistic disposition, warm-hearted, affectionate and fun (I hope). I am happiest outdoors - gardening, or walking with my new, energetic puppy and cycling through the lanes (not simultaneously, though that could be interesting). I believe that everyone has good in them. I value kindness, consideration and integrity. I am not moody and will always be honest. Friends kindly say I'm a catch and appear genuinely surprised that I haven't been snapped up!
I like being creative and to achieve something each day, however small. Painting, woodworking, leatherwork, learning Italian (started!), cookery lessons, finally reading all my coffee-table books and keeping fit are amongst my plans for retirement, which started at the end of June. Love it already!
I am not a party-animal, preferring socialising with good friends. I enjoy intellectual banter, classical music, jazz, some rock/pop, playing the piano, reading the Guardian/Observer and doing the cryptic crosswords/Scrabble. I always have at least one novel on the go, and enjoy The Arts/National Trust/English Heritage. I have a swish new road bike and love cycling. I also have a new (2010) Mazda MX5, which I simply adore driving with the roof down and music playing. I am passionately anti-Tory, Farage and right-wing populism.
I have two wonderful sons (27y and 23y) with whom I am very close and inordinately proud of. The oldest is a professional horse-rider, the younger has just finished his degree.
I have a weakness for holidays in the Seychelles, but with with that exception, the climate crisis means I will be exploring all the riches of the British Isles and Europe.
I can stand on my own two feet, but would so much prefer to have someone dear walking alongside me - in addition to my new Vizsla puppy, that is!
About her ideal match
A decent, intelligent, cultured, active and slim man, who doesn't take themselves too seriously.
I'm looking for a close, loving, affectionate, sexy, fun and comfortable partnership. Mutual attraction, lively discussions, gentle chatting, with laughter and love underpinning it all, plus equality and respect. Holding hands and kissing spontaneously. Sharing the good and bad times. I'm looking forward to new interests and challenges - and whatever a new partner brings. I will be utterly faithful and expect the same. I have a lot of love to give.
No married men, please. Photos from 2019 - 2024, the most recent being from late June '24 of me on May Hill, in the pine trees. And chaps - if you have no photo, I ain't looking.
