In Her Own Words
About her
As an ex-kitten, now more of a moggy, I still look forward with expectations to... who knows what? Life is intriguing, sometimes run-of-the-mill, and then unexpectedly... Classic FM may bring the answer.
Renoir-ish rather than Michelin-miss, I enjoy walking, cycling and particularly swimming, which is just as well as I need something to offset my love of food - cooking and then eating it. I love travel and try to pick up a smattering of the language wherever I go, although my dream is to live in France full time. One of the happiest times of my life (so far) was when I spent two years living and working on farms and market stalls in France. I have also travelled solo to Finland, Russia, Spain, America... My next trip is to Sicily.
I am an avid reader and also love going to concerts. I have just started line-dancing - but not bought the stetson yet!
My friends and colleagues would probably say I'm cheerful and outgoing, although I think I'm shy. I work in beautiful surroundings (I'm PA to the owner of a stately home) and peace and quiet are important to me as a confirmed country girl, although I also enjoy entertaining friends and going out, with the odd trip to the city.
I'm a keen amateur photographer and am proud to have had some of my photos used in local and national publications. I also enjoy writing and sewing - and have enjoyed clay pigeon shooting and riding. I love driving - although I have absolutely no sense of direction - which leads to some very interesting places!
I would like to say I'm a romantic, but not in a "soppy" way. I do adore being given flowers - whether hand-picked from a field, or a beautiful bouquet - even more than chocolates (which I love), and try to make thoughtful, meaningful gestures of my own.
About her ideal match
I don't know what that elusive "thing" is that makes the right connection between people, but I'm still optimistically looking. A smile and a twinkle in the eye are probably a good start. I've come close several times, but as I'm still looking, it obviously wasn't close enough.
I don't believe that couples should live in each other's pockets - a measure of independence on both sides is good - but to be good friends with shared core values is a solid base for a relationship. Shared interests, too, are useful but not essential, but politically I'd like to meet someone on the left of centre. Anything else would lead to very spirited discussions - but wouldn't necessarily rule someone out.
I appreciate someone who dresses well - that is, someone who can colour co-ordinate their wardrobe, even if it's just jeans and a jumper most of the time, and who doesn't wear white socks (sorry; a bete noir of mine).
I like someone who can talk about an interesting life or experiences they've had, and I see success as someone who may not have prospered financially but who always gets up to try again at whatever interests them in life. I like someone who knows what's happening in the world (news and culture) and is happy to discuss things and maybe even participate.
A perfect date would probably be a meal in a decent restaurant overlooking the sea, where we could walk on the beach afterwards if we'd hit it off.
Anyone who has a house in the countryside in France or who wants to move there would be top of my list!
