In Her Own Words
About her
People I'm close to say I'm kind, a good listener, funny and a loyal friend.
I prefer socialising one to one, or in small groups, rather than in big groups.
I am active and fit, not sporty. I'm a sea swimmer but stick to the warmer months.... keep meaning to be brave and try to keep swimming all year round.
I have a dog and enjoy long walks with her and with friends.
I've always been interested in birds, wildflowers, trees, butterflies and nature generally. I care deeply about the environment.
Music is important to me, mainly classical, but I also enjoy folk and world music, and I sing in two choirs.
Interests include films, concerts, theatre, museums and historical buildings, open gardens. Reading: mainly fiction, but some natural and local history.
I have family who live nearby and who are very important to me.
About her ideal match
Looking for someone kind, sensitive, bright, intellectually curious, emotionally intelligent.
A nature lover and keen walker. Someone who shares a similar sense of humour. A music lover, even if they like different kinds of music from me. I'm open to new experiences!
Deal breakers: smoker, racist, major health issues (I've been a carer for my mother and my late husband).
