In Her Own Words
About her
I clearly fail the glamorous blonde test but scratch the surface and you’ll find a warm and caring nature, honesty, a ready smile and most of my marbles.
What prompts the smile? Blue skies, clear seas, frosty winter mornings, cosy country pubs, smart restaurant treat, log fires (including my own), time with family and friends, a glass of champagne now and again, holding hands on a walk, singing along to music from my youth, special gardens, the wind in the trees, discovering new places at home and abroad … hardly revolutionary, I know. The frown is reserved for porridge (much as I’d like to like it), mud, camping/glamping/caravanning (seriously?), tv soaps, dancing (sorry, three left feet), extreme politics or conspiracy theories - not so keen on soy sauce either. Injustice, lack of respect or unkindness produce a look to turn milk sour.
I can’t guarantee that you’ll like me but I can guarantee you’ll recognise me (photos Jan. 25) - not always the case.
About her ideal match
It seems superfluous to say I’m looking for someone with integrity, kind, reliable and intelligent (after all, who’s going to admit to the opposite?) but that would definitely hit the jackpot!
Unless joining you boxing, white water rafting or ice swimming is mandatory, your interests aren’t an issue. (Though if you immediately asked, “does she mean me?”, it might be). If you’re happy doing the normal things such as cinema, eating out, visiting places of interest, perhaps some travel (and don’t have a diet of porridge laced with soy sauce), I’d love to hear from you.
