In Her Own Words
About her
I'm a one-man woman who is looking for someone to walk shoulder to shoulder through life.
I'm a homely (prefer home to partying but can do both), easy going, warm, feminine, well-grounded girl who is non-judgmental with an awful lot of love to give. My loyalty is hard-earned but fierce once in hand. I'm unselfish and like to think of myself as a 'giver' rather than a 'taker' in life. I have two daughters aged 35 & 36 and one granddaughter.
I enjoy the usual; interesting holidays at home and abroad, art galleries, nature, animals, architecture, nice hotels, Radio 4 and long walks (but not too long!). Being honest (and despite losing 96.8% of you), I'm not particularly keen on the theatre!
I used to be quite sporty but snapped an Achilles tendon playing badminton, so I tend to participate in more gentle activities now.
Amongst other things, I enjoy nights in with a good steak and a bottle of red. Ultimately though, it is the good company that is most important to me. The former is largely redundant without the latter. Eating a bacon sandwich and reading the Sunday papers together can be the most pleasurable pastime.
I have developed a penchant for good food and enjoy eating out in quality restaurants although I suspect this is partly driven by my lack of culinary skills! I was previously employed as a senior lecturer of accounting & business at university, but have run my own company for the past 8 years.
I'm not at all materialistic but do strive for quality in all aspects of life. I believe in that age-old maxim in that what you get out of a relationship is simply a product of what you put in.
I very much look forward to finding you..... and becoming a formidable couple.
About her ideal match
I'm looking for someone who has a kindly nature and is utterly genuine - and you don't need to have swum the Amazon!
I hope you would possess high emotional intelligence, a sense of class and be fantastic in the kitchen, - sadly, the vast majority of the good food I have consumed has not been cooked by me!
In an ideal world you would be clean shaven, have time for a partner, may well be interested in sport (I will lovingly grin and bear it); are unlikely to be good at DIY (I will love you for it but we can always get someone in); may exercise on occasion (for fitness, not muscle enlargement); convincingly pretend to like my cooking (I would love you even more and a reward may be on the cards..); buy flowers on occasion (but can never figure out what they mean); have strong family values and excellent social skills (dutifully follows all the social protocols but often quietly breaks the rules); at parties prefers a deep chat with a stranger to swinging your hips; loves and protects me (not sure what from though); doesn't decrypt star signs or type 'LOL' in texts; likes to lie awake until the early hours chatting about nothing (inter alia); and lets me lovingly watch you shave and hold you when asleep.
Although not always conventional (I can sail a bit close to the wind at times), I'm a very easy-going and patient person who tries to see the positive side of life. I find kindness and appreciation is key to a happy life. I prefer my partner to be neither led nor play leader; in other words, I am looking for a strong character with morals and integrity, who is my equal.
Life’s experience has fortunately given us the wisdom to recognise not only what we DO want but realise what we DON’T. I have much loyalty and love to give to the ‘right’ partner but do expect this in return. Worryingly, this is turning out to be a harder task than first thought, and worries of dying as a lonely old cat-lady are fast becoming a reality!
