In Her Own Words
About her
There’s something I love about early morning when London is quiet. I swim at least three times a week. Early, in the water at 7am, a real wake up call when the water is cold. I used to dance regularly, Ceroc, and also took up Argentine tango classes.
I’m crazy for apple pie, and often wonder if it’s because I’m half Irish. That was a staple of my childhood. I make two types – a German one with a dash of rum, only to be eaten with ice cream, looks pretty, like a postcard, and a traditional crumble one has to have with custard. It’s the best. If I was asked to make a raspberry flan or lemon meringue pie I could probably make them with my eyes closed. Wouldn’t that be fun? You might be under the impression all I eat is puddings, but it’s not the case. I eat healthily. Bring on those tomatoes…
I’m happy within myself, well-travelled, and am fortunate to have been to many wonderful places in the world, from the Maldives, with fish swimming around my feet. I thought they were cute until I realised they were baby sharks. I was also fond of San Francisco. I walked across the Golden Gate bridge, a hard task as I can get vertigo. One and a quarter miles of not looking down. I even managed the 86th viewing floor of New York’s Empire State, but that was under hypnosis. Unfortunately, I couldn’t go up to the spike on 102nd as my hypnosis only worked for up to 86 floor.
Last musical: Operation Mincemeat
Recent film: Twisters.
Books: The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Love Peter James and Lee Child.
Dislikes: Coffee, mushrooms, bad table manners.
Loves: Family
First Date: Spacious nondescript café. After all, it’s only a first date.
What to look forward to: That heart skips a beat moment meeting a lovely man who will sweep me off my feet. Preferably not with a brush.
About her ideal match
The man I am hoping to meet is rather wonderful. He is kind, honest, fun, genuine, and takes care of himself. A Hollywood smile would be a bonus. I don’t mind what he does for a living, whether he works, or is retired. It would be nice if he, like me, has an adventurous streak. And he doesn’t have to be a dancer.
I can’t wait to meet him.
N.B. Main photo taken 26 Sept. Photos in blue flowery dress July 2021. I don’t wear glasses usually, only for driving / close up work. Green dresses / cream dress photos taken Spain / June 2022. Yikes, where has my suntan gone?
