In Her Own Words
About her
I am happy in my life but would rather share it than be alone. The incurable romantic and eternal optimist in me remains certain that I shall one day find my person.
I’m something of an introvert but quite sociable with it and enjoy the company of one other person or small groups of friends. Large gatherings aren’t my thing. A thinker and a dreamer but pretty down to earth, I don’t take life too seriously and I love to laugh and have fun. I’m fairly well travelled but aware that there is still a lot of the world, much of it in this country, that I would still like to see. I’m fairly well educated but always open to learning more. I’m affectionate and loving and seek the same. I love my family and my friends and take my relationships very seriously.
I like the smells and colours of autumn and the hope of spring; (nice) surprises; walking in all weathers by the sea or down a country lane that leads to a nice pub; lazy conversation after a good meal while still gathered around a table; companionable silence; good coffee and frosty mornings; early summer mornings that make you want to get up and out; winter evenings involving a fire and good wine and, if I am lucky, good company and conversation; the sound of rain falling; a book you just can’t put down yet whose end you want to delay for as long as possible because then you will have to put it down; Radio 4; Radio 4 Extra; exploring new places – and I like having a kindred spirit in my life, someone to whom I am important as he would be to me.
I couldn't envisage a world without the spoken and written word in the form of literature, poetry, cinema, theatre and conversation. I love music for its ability to transport and to entertain and my taste ranges from The Eagles and Jim Croce to pieces such as Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber or Chopin.
I find the world around me endlessly interesting, fascinating, moving and often funny. I want to go on experiencing it and it would be wonderful to do that with aforementioned kindred spirit.
About her ideal match
Life is full of surprises. No matter how things look on ‘paper’, the answer to whether you want to get to know someone better really only comes through meeting them. However, in brief, are you genuine, well-mannered, kind and affectionate? A good companion, young at heart with a generous spirit and fun to be with? Are you romantic and demonstrative and not afraid to show it? If you are that man and someone who wants to embrace life and love then perhaps you should get in touch.
