In Her Own Words
About her
I may be 71 but I still have a curious mind and a zest for life. My working life was spent teaching languages, (other skills strictly limited) and I love the culture of most European countries.
I’m caring, outgoing and sociable and enjoy good conversation as well as good company. My interests include world cinema, current affairs, the arts, historic properties, beautiful gardens and being by the sea. Add good food and good wine and I'm very happy.
About her ideal match
I’m looking for someone kind, honest and intelligent, with warmth and integrity. Someone who is confident but not too serious, who enjoys good conversation and has a twinkle in his eye!
It would be lovely to meet someone to share laughter, experiences, adventures and the quieter pleasures of life – whether that’s a film, a garden, a day by the sea or simply a good meal and a chat.
I believe it’s never too late to meet someone special. A message guarantees a reply.
My profile photo is from July 26, the others from last summer to September 26.
