In Her Own Words
About her
I currently live most of the year in London after living abroad for a large part of my life. For the last few years, I spend time in Sri Lanka looking after my tea estate in the mountains. Long story - ask me!
I am easy going, successful and happy in my work (publishing). My office is at home. I am amusing and good company (so I'm told, but are they flattering me?) and like being around people. I enjoy London life but also like to get away from it all and benefit from fresh air and a relaxed pace of life.
I travel a fair amount, often combining work and pleasure - mainly in Asia and the US. Perhaps you are also interested in some of the same things - gardening, books, art, food and wine, history, exploring new countries. I used to sail a lot and not adverse to starting again, enjoy swimming and other water sports. I also enjoy walking in the mountains where I live in Sri Lanka.
About her ideal match
I'm looking for someone intelligent and self-confident, but not arrogant. Someone who is kind and compassionate, who makes mistakes and learns from them. They know where they want to go in life and are there (or getting there). Or has been there, come back, and started yet another journey ... Like me! Someone who is light-hearted, thoughtful and happy in any surroundings, who is also spontaneous (well, sometimes!), adventurous and ready to just enjoy life and share some of their life with me, as I'll share mine with you.
