In Her Own Words
About her
Hello, thank you for stopping by!
Now 58 not far away from 59, but my grown up children tell me that I look and act a lot younger ( about 14 apparently). They must want something!
I have quite diverse tastes.
Including in music, from classical, to pop to indie. A favourite piece being “Particles” by Olufar Arnold’s - try and find it, it’s beautiful. Also Pink Floyd, I can’t remember the title but there is a line in it which stops you mid breath - “Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?”
- does that make me sound mad?
I’m affectionate and tactile ( love a hand to hold and a cheek to kiss). Mischievous.
I like Radio 4. Especially “I’m sorry I Haven’t A Clue”. I may have a thing for Jack Dee…
I really enjoy being outdoors. Love the coast and the sea in particular.
I bodyboard and snorkel, appreciating our Devon and Cornish coasts. I execute ( literally) my watery activities with enthusiasm if not elegance.
A good dose of negative ions…
Originally from the Cambridgeshire Fens - no webbed feet though, I promise. Then up to North Norfolk and now down in deepest, darkest Somerset, on the edge of the Levels. See the watery theme?
I do have a yearning for mid Devon. I would like to find some dark sky. I am just starting to enjoy astronomy again, and what an amazing time right now to gaze upwards!
I studied horticulture and plant sciences and worked amongst the chlorophytes and substrate for a long time (I know! Ask me later, maybe).
Now I am working for an engineering company, very small, very niche and yes, very different.
But, come the apocalypse, I will be very useful to know - I can grow the fungi and rebuild a Solex carburettor!
I love words. Especially ‘P’ words!
Patience, Passion, Positivity (in that order too!)
I adore animals. I would love to have a dog again.
My favourite colour is green. Couldn’t be anything else really, could it?
I like nice perfume.
I enjoy a good strong espresso with a Portuguese custard tart on the side!
And vinegar. Make of that what you will…
About her ideal match
Gosh this is so difficult!
I would love to find a gentleman. One who can appreciate the simple things in life. I’m not at all materialistic and believe that the best days and moments are when all the senses are engaged simultaneously.
I won’t go camping though…
Someone to do everything and nothing with. But not needing to be joined at the hip.
Someone to find hidden treasure with…
Someone who might find spotting wavy glass in windows of old houses as you wander through a village, as fascinating as me…
A best friend, soulmate and lover. A hand to hold.
Someone to share the good times with and to have your back, as I would theirs, during the bumpy bits.
