In Her Own Words
About her
Hello there!
I’m lucky to be surrounded by wonderful family and friends – including my adorable grown-up children and a granddaughter who’s as funny and bubbly as she is beautiful. I’ve also got a job that keeps me on my toes and gives me plenty to think about.
I’ve seen a fair bit of the world, but there’s still so much more to explore – including right here at home. I spent this Easter travelling up the East Coast of the US, where I was amused to discover that MAGA caps are made in China. Oh, the irony!
I'm very much a spring-summer-autumn kind of person – winter and I don’t get along particularly well but there is always a new season to look forward to and I have recently acquired an allotment so have some learning to do! Gave up on skiing, got away lightly so I have enjoyed hiking in the Lake District and along the Dorset Coastline as a safer pastime!
My main photo is up to date – taken in April 2025.
Things I love: obviously my family and friends (including our beautiful cocker spaniel), the Ryder Cup (when we win!), the Six Nations (when we play well), theatre, Bob Dylan, Edith Piaf, Leonard Cohen, Elton John, Abba, a good bit of jazz and classical music, dramatic weather, lively conversation, Sunday politics, the Rest is Politics, a glass of wine with my ‘bookie’ mates, breakfast in bed, hugs and good company.
Things I loathe: unkindness, deceit, sarcasm and cruelty – life’s far too short for people to be mean to each other.
So, if you’re kind, clever, curious and have a happy and positive outlook, please do get in touch and let’s see what happens.
About her ideal match
Twinkly intelligent eyes are my downfall - couple that with laughter, a warm smile and a je ne sais quoi, I’ll be well and truly hooked. ‘Witty’ doesn’t particularly do it for me. You are also likely to be intelligent, kind, open, thoughtful, reliable and looking to throw yourself into the next chapter of your life.
