In Her Own Words
About her
I’m an ex-international award-winning Cirque du Soliel Trapezist. Subsequently I ran a professional circus school + international performing arts agency plus organised corporate and community events for many years.
After I became involved in renovating properties and gardens in the UK and France
I am ‘retired' with a basic passive property income, but I occasionally to do both Film/TV/Ad work, and professionally chaperone 'children in entertainments'.
I have studied horticulture, have a large garden and an allotment and grow organic.
I enjoy talks and cultural events and taking courses. I have a curious mind with broad interests: the creative and performing arts, science, travelling, boats, nature, countryside, reading (confession: book-hoarder!).
I watch TV occassionally (mainly films / documentaries), but might binge watch a good series!
I have a long-term interest in health and well-being re degree in Health Sciences and previously spent time volunteering for the NHS as a healthcare change-maker.
I like to keep active (I love dancing, and pilates, yoga, tai chi, body combat).
I moved back to London (from Bristol) when my two children (in their 20’s) started university. My younger child then moved to London for her Masters @Imperial, so I regularly meet-up with her and her boyfriend.
I enjoy socialising with people of all ages, and from different cultural backgrounds. I currently have female lodgers from Italy, South Africa and Singapore, which makes for an interesting and fun international household.
I dress up, or down and sometimes quirky for fun, according to the occasion.
Profile photos include some from Tunisia in June 2025.
My friends pushed me try online dating. I'm open to meeting new people with shared interests, open to trying new activities, hoping to at least make some new good friends, plus ultimately to find my soulmate.
If this resonates with you, then drop me an message sharing something about yourself, and why you think we should meet :)
About her ideal match
Looking for friendship then maybe something more…
Someone willing to take the time to get to know me and let me know them.
Ideally, someone whom has a similar outlook on life, has a generous, kind and considerate spirit; is generally optimistic, grounded, self-aware and able to communicate openly and honestly.
Hopefully someone equally curious, well-read, has broad interests across the arts and sciences, enjoys good conversation, is non-judgemental and flexible to consider other points of view, enjoys sharing things that they are passionate about with others, but is also a good listener.
Someone whom enjoys keeping physically active, recognises the importance of a bit of spontaneity and having fun, and is open to sharing new experiences together.
I love this quote by Dick Van Dyke (98):
"In my 30s I exercised to look good. In my 50s to stay fit. In my 70s to stay ambulatory. In my 80's to avoid assisted living. In my 90s I'm just going it of pure defiance."
I absolutely love his attitude of pure defiance navigating his 90’s! Definitely the way to go!
