In Her Own Words
About her
Life is rushing by and I’ve had enough of being on my own. While I’m fairly happy in my own company so many things are better shared -good food, travel (sometimes), sunsets (always)!
I enjoy all the usual things, cinema, theatre, reading, eating out, choir, gardening, music, galleries, walking, making things ( sewing, ceramics, origami, printmaking), yoga, tai chi, but it’s all starting to feel a bit same old, same old.....
Although neither shy nor quiet in the right company, I’m towards the introverted end of the spectrum, preferring to spend time one to one or with just a couple of friends. I shrink into my shell in large groups and am grumpy when prised out!
Otherwise I’m intelligent, curious, love new experiences, am loyal, compassionate and love a good conversation. I’m hopeless at chit chat and prefer pleasure to fun. And sport leaves me cold!
I studied languages eons ago, they’re all a bit rusty now, but I very much like giving them an airing from time to time in Europe. I’ve travelled a lot in S.E. Asia recently as my son works there and would love to explore other parts of the world. I have my eye on Costa Rica next for the wildlife.
Life is for living until the very last moment and I could do with some more women/ a partner to live it with.
One more thing - women only please.
About her ideal match
I’d like to meet someone who is comfortable with her own company and needs her own space, but who would also like a special woman in her life to spend high days and holidays with, someone for cuddles, conversations deep and otherwise, new adventures and quiet times just hanging out. If you have (non sporty) interests different from mine that’s great. Shake me up a bit!
Travel companions or activity partners are also very welcome.
No smokers or compulsive chatterers please.
I’m so fed-up with doing everything online I’d really like to hear from women who live close enough for face to face meetings, but I’m not ruling anything out.
