In Her Own Words
About her
I'm looking for a kind, good food loving, available chappy. I am new to Poole and have emerged, squinting into the sunshine, wondering where the heck I am!
Are you interested in good food? I’m keen to try local restaurants. I would love to find someone to show me the highlights of Poole- ish areas. Cooking is a passion-we could make a sumptuous Sunday lunch or just a sofa supper. I’m Canadian, so I BBQ in all weathers. Let’s create a reason to get dressed up and have a dinner date. A cuddle on the garden sofa wrapped in blankets with a fire and a snifter of cognac is good too. I love travel, adventure, exploring and entertaining, creating, being, endlessly tinkering around the house and listening to an eclectic range of music. It is rumoured (or perhaps a fact or we could agree I'm making this up) that the Dalai Lama said you must visit five new places every year. I try to do something new every week to keep things fresh and exciting- turn right instead of left, do point and drive holidays etc. Funny, happy, sociable, adventurous, a good and loyal friend- that's me. I am trying very hard not to work very hard and ideally, I would like to limit the time I do it. I love being in my quirky house in France (aka The Stairmaster) and having neighbours and friends around. I have no children but I welcome other people's and love family life- even if there are just two people in the family. Although my two dogs have shuffled off this mortal coil, I remain a steadfast dog lover. I'm looking for the same characteristics in my ideal man. Are you out there?
About her ideal match
What gets you off your sofa? Do you have any James Bond characteristics? Will you be the first person I want to call when there is something exciting or mundane to tell? As I'm new to the area, I need you to tell me about your secret spectacular places. What would your shoes tell me about you? Do you like entertaining, travelling, being quiet, reading, cooking? Are you a good host? What would you bring to a relationship? Do you have a good set of power tools? Do you (could you) love Toots Thielman and Mel Torme?
If you're my ideal guy, you'll be a bit of a live wire, a good conversationalist, cheeky, happy, strong and caring, love dogs. I have recently lost both of my beloved hounds, so would be delighted if you brought one (or more!) to the party. You'll be a generously spirited gentleman who lives life with gusto, humour and passion, who values and respects the people in his life. You won't be perfect, so we'll be a matching set. A good heart trumps a physical persona. Are you the guy to make me laugh and be my friend?
