In Her Own Words
About her
Positive, genuine, romantic, fabulous kids and friends but no one to pour the wine on a Saturday evening. A voracious reader, amateur badminton player, and passionate bird lover (but not a twitcher), I believe that life is all about making the most of every day and being willing to take a moment out from the rush to smell a rose or listen to a beautiful piece of Bach or Beethoven.
I believe that we should leave as small a footprint on our children's legacy as we can, and also take time to care about the fate of others less fortunate than ourselves. But that doesn't stop me from cooking delicious meals and opening a decent bottle of wine to share with someone special. Trying my hand at Thai food which is exciting, well I think so anyhow as I love messing with the flavours.
Born and raised in Kenya (yes that involved being sent to boarding school), I have also lived in France, Australia and the USA. I would still love to visit Morocco, Greece and Peru - yes I know, that involves carbon but I will offset it in other ways. I'd also love to spend more time mooching around Italy.
Whilst not travelling (ie most of the time) I enjoy roaming around the countryside, visiting National Trust properties - often the gardens more than the buildings to be honest, and exploring new parts of our gorgeous country.
Gradually winding down from work, but enjoy it too much to give up completely while I am on my own but would retire to spend time with the right person.
About her ideal match
Your smile which you show often and which will reach your twinkly eyes will be one of your biggest attributes, along with your easy, intelligent conversation and willingness to listen. An interest in the fate of others, will speak volumes, and old fashioned manners and attention to grammar will give you top marks.
You are someone who is willing to share the good times with lots of laughs, but also the less good ones when I might need a shoulder. You enjoy being spoilt and spoiling back, and being made to feel important by an otherwise independent and adoring lady.
