In Her Own Words
About her
I retired a couple of years ago after 15 years of working in the social care/charity sector. I am enjoying spending time volunteering. I love social history so am enjoying learning more and sharing my interest with others. I can be a bit of an introvert who enjoys being with friends but crowds are not my thing. I love reading (science fantasy/fiction), walking (not long distance) and can talk the hind legs off a donkey when the mood takes me!
I value curiosity about the changing world and the diverse people in it and have little patience with people who aren’t willing to question their own views and try to understand the views of others. Getting older shouldn’t mean we stop growing and learning.
At this stage in life I feel loving friendship is a more realistic goal than finding a soul mate! My soul is a bit battered but my love for those dear to me is still going strong.
About her ideal match
I value friendship, open communication and honesty. An open and enquiring mind is an asset, the world constantly changes and being unwilling to challenge long held beliefs in ourselves is boring and ridiculous. Patience would be highly recommended and a sense of humour is essential. Being constantly together is not essential - I like my own space - but enjoying time with each other is vital.
