In Her Own Words
About her
Kind, gentle, calm. Easy company. A giant heart. (Am trying not to sound like your dog, but fear I'm failing.) Serene and refined.
I can be playful, quirky. I enjoy the spoken word, also the absurd. If you play pool, count me in. The small things in life can be the best. I believe in an "Attitude of Gratitude" in life.
My life's been unusual. No children through past work demands. Business leadership, high integrity. Confident, capable, solid. But now I'm retired, I've the freedom to be gentle me, caring about everyone else. I need little, to be happy. With two loving arms around me, life would be just perfect.
Music: John Barry: Out of Africa. Ralph V Williams: Fantasia on a Theme. Opera: Rusalka (Song to the Moon). Radio: Classic FM + Smooth Chill. I grew up with Genesis (awesome) & Floyd, but love Ibiza Chill & opera too.
Film: Nothing compares to Somewhere In Time.
Property is a passion, along with architecture, antiques and social history. Fast cars are finally in my past, drat. Oh - but lastly here's the shocking thing - I actually look like my photos. The main one's early 2025.
About her ideal match
You're kind. A gentleman. Perhaps a bit of a huggy bear too. Well spoken. Easy going. You understand "how things should be". You appreciate good manners. No pretentiousness, no need to prove yourself.
You love country walks, laughter, birdsong. The garden after rain. If you're sensitive, I am a safe place. You're someone of quality. If you're protective, and want someone feminine + rock solid; I'd love to hear from you.
Hopefully you have few ties. Sadly this may not work if your children and grandees sweep your days away.
Thank you kindly for reading this.
