In Her Own Words
About her
I regard myself as a gentle soul, kind, generous, caring, optimistic, compassionate, friendly, and intelligent with a good sense of humour. I value integrity and honesty in my friends and regard it as important to be considerate of others' feelings and perspectives. I'm happy to explore new experiences and always remain open to learning whether from life experience or intellectual pursuits.
As a retired teacher, I now have much more time and energy to spend on my home, my friends and family, travel, music (playing and listening), reading widely, visits to the cinema and theatre, trips to gardens and galleries, writing, drawing, walking by the sea and in the countryside, gardening and generally relaxing.
Oh - and dancing whenever the opportunity arises!
Although I originate from the East Midlands (Nottingham), my favourite place in the UK is Cornwall. Having lived there and explored that county for eleven years, I love its wildness and spiritual connections. Walking the Cornish Coastal path, finding quiet backwaters and sea-watching, especially in windy weather are just some of its delights.
However, in 2017, I returned to Kent (where I had previously resided for 35 years) because I wished to re-connect with old friends, be closer to my family and to feel less remote from the rest of the UK and Europe (ironically).
In terms of appearance, I tend to resist the idea of needing to categorise oneself, so would not regard myself as either butch or femme. However, I have always been solely attracted to women and have had several long-term relationships.
If any of this coincides with your interests, I would be happy to chat, perhaps meet up, and certainly explore any common ground that could lead to friendship. I'm also open to a relationship in the longer term with that special woman who might be out there somewhere.
Finally, I wish everyone who reads my profile all the very best in finding whatever you are seeking in life.
The best is most definitely yet to come!
About her ideal match
Whoever finds common ground with aspects of the description I have given of myself and wishes to complement rather than simply replicate me as a companion and friend would be my ideal.
