In Her Own Words
About her
Now that I'm an empty nester, I'm looking for some company to have great conversations and a laugh with, but I'm just as happy in companionable silence sitting by a crackling fire, reading or watching a film on TV curled up together. I spent a good many years as a single mum, bringing up my daughter so that she would be able to head into the world confident and independent, so being on my own for a while has meant staying in perhaps more than I would have liked.
I recently lost my gorgeous little dog and miss getting out in nature for the fresh air and that hit of wellbeing as we wandered through the trees and by the river, me wrestling the occasional chunk of bread from him that somebody had left for the ducks.
I love being by the sea or up a mountain - usually taking the easy route by cable car 😊 - and most photos of me in those locations show me to be at my happiest and most relaxed. On a beach, you're more likely to find me walking along the water's edge or sitting watching the waves than perfecting a tan on a sunbed, though outdoors I do like to feel the warmth of the sun or a tropical breeze on my skin or listen to the sounds of crunchy leaves underfoot.
That said, my day to day existence tends to see me behind a desk on a laptop running my business, and still trying to maintain those trips to the woods I used to take with my four-legged companion, or heading out with my camera in the impossible quest for the ‘perfect’ shot. Photography is one of my ways to destress and enjoy nature.
I like being spontaneous and doing something different - so would enjoy being surprised now and again (in a good way) or introduced to new activities which interest you. I think it's quite important for each partner to have their own space as well as doing things together, so I don't expect you to share all my interests or for me to share all of yours, as long as they are compatible with each other's values.
About her ideal match
You should be kind and considerate, with a love of travel. It would be nice to take occasional weekends away (or longer), go out to dinner, a film, theatre or other adventures. Ideally you'll be curious about the world, interested in and enthusiastic to learn about lots of different things. You will have a good and kindly sense of humour and be able to hold a conversation (not argumentative) and make me smile. You'll be understanding and tolerant of others - able to stand in another person's shoes rather than firing off criticism.
I'm not a gym bunny but I'm keen to head into the next few decades with some degree of health and fitness. I've travelled a fair bit and I'm looking forward to a chance of sharing new horizons with that special someone. Life's too short for brooding or moodiness, so you'll definitely be a glass half full kind of guy - more Tigger than Eeyore 😉
