In Her Own Words
About her
I have brought up my two boys single-handedly since they were 8 & 3 (now, 19 & 14) and this experience has made me very strong. I went to Art School in my youth - I did a degree in Fine Art - and never quite recovered! I was born in the Northwest but I have lived in Newcastle and London too. In lockdown I got a bichon friese puppy, my first dog, so consequently I walk her daily - sometimes gleefully, sometimes begrudgingly (eg when the weather's bad - I'm a bit of a fairweather type, I must admit).
I love nature, home-buillding and discussing Art, Art movements, Art History in a way hopefully relevant to navigating through life. I have just started a diploma in teaching although I've taught and worked in education for many years, and still do - currently in a post-16 Art College. I like music but used to love music - it still gives me much joy but I tend to have the car radio on radio4 now rather than music channels. I've restarted yoga classes recently, and I'm glad I have. I love good films and good books. I go out occasionally eg to live comedy, restaurants, a singing workshop(!) but I like to have time at home. One day I'd love to start in earnest a graphic novel of some sort.
About her ideal match
Ideally warm and positive, intelligent, kind, supportive, honest, understanding. A friend I fancy. Integrity and strength of character is important to me - nobody's perfect and a self awareness of this (eg of mistakes made, of limitations etc) would be great. A bit of authentic style and knowledge would be great too. Intelligence and SOH prob top of my list though. I work with young people so am quite young in spirit and would like that in a partner, I suppose.
