In Her Own Words
About her
After a lifetime of working in the NHS and then education, I retired to the idyllic SW of France. I enjoy life in the countryside but do like the buzz of a city when I can. Movies, theatres, museums, and department stores are certainly on my list when in the city. However, my heart belongs in the countryside and especially in my garden. Nature at its best is a very difficult act to follow, unless it's a Harley-Davidson on a warm sunny day, with the open road. I have been lucky enough to travel extensively and it has been one of the highlights of my life. I think of myself as a traveler rather than a tourist, and this is because I really enjoy going off the beaten track for a new adventure. After a lifetime of having to conform to protocols, the element of surprise with a touch of random chances is really exciting.
Loving my retirement!
About her ideal match
I am looking for someone who enjoys life, enjoys simple pleasures, and has a great sense of fun. I have a good sense of humour and would like to meet someone with the same. Above anything else, honesty is a value I need in any relationship.
