In Her Own Words
About her
I'm a long-term singleton, well-adjusted to the solo life but now looking for new beginnings after moving from London to Bournemouth a year ago.
I'm physically fit, healthy and slim* and keen to devote time and energy to exploring the South West’s beautiful coastline and countryside – not to mention its lovely people.
I can sometimes be initially a little reserved, but am easily coaxed out of my shell and love talking to and learning about new people and their lives. Also learning new things in general – I believe we’re all a work in progress, regardless of age. Friends and family tell me I'm very youthful for my age, both in mind and body - hopefully you might agree!
*BMI of 20.3, or so my GP tells me!
My interests include: the visual and performing arts; keeping fit through running, walking and Pilates; gardening and plant propagation; cooking, volunteering, learning to drive (don't laugh!); Scandi and Fair Isle knitting; coastal explorations and the sea; travel abroad and in the UK.
About her ideal match
My ideal match - in theory at least! - would be a fit, healthy mid-sixties to early 70s man, who is easy but stimulating company, politically centre-ground, with an enquiring, positive outlook on life and the ageing process. A dryish wit offset by a sense of fun and adventure and rarely, if ever, grumpy. Non-smoker essential and reasonably moderate drinker preferred.
I'm not that keen on dogs, particularly yappy, supposedly 'cute' small dogs – so maybe not a dog owner/walker. But someone keen on other outdoor pursuits, along with a range of cultural interests from the arts to good food and wine. Talking of which, someone who is a keen cook would be great – particularly if enthusiasm matched by skill!
Oh - nearly forgot to mention - I'm not interested in lengthy online relationships, constant text updates, etc. Although a OLD rookie, I've decided I want to 'keep it real' as much as possible, including meeting in person reasonably quickly where mutually agreeable. This is despite (or maybe because of?) in-depth experience of planning digital comms campaigns in my past professional life!
