In Her Own Words

About Her

I find humour in a lot of ordinary life situations, I bounce back from disappointments, don't carry grudges, and I generally believe the best of people.

I have lots of interests including cooking, reading (a LOT), writing (I've published) , theatre/ movies, exploring Cape Town and the surroundings, ....Love to spend my weekends out of doors as much as possible and I THRIVE in summer (Winter is admittedly a bit of a trial - I'm not a fan of dark mornings or the cold although red wine and open fires are a great solace). Love pretty much everything to do with being IN water but don't have sea legs!

Words I'd apply to myself : Intelligent. Optimistic. Good-humoured I travelled quite extensively before having family and want to do more! Pragmatic and enthusiastic about life, the universe and everything...

Faith is definitely part of my life - trying to live in line with Christian principles, so ideally I'm looking for someone who shares that belief and intent, HOWEVER - I appreciate we all have to find our own path and I'm not on a mission to convert anyone by beating them over the head with a Bible (It didn't work for me - why would it work for you?) I do believe in being clear and unambiguous about boundaries.

One daughter in London and one at home heading into a GAP year so my world is opening up again after the "mom" episode! If you've sorted out your own baggage and you are a stable and 'switched on' person open to friendship and the possibility of seeing if there's a spark that might catch - then contact me.

About Her Ideal Match

Must be intelligent and preferably have seen a bit of the world..... Someone who thinks deeply, but also doesn't take themselves or life too seriously. Need not be Mr Confidence / Extrovert, as long as you're comfortable and secure with who you are.

Definitely prefer someone who is a "glass half full" person rather than an "Eeyore": I don't have the patience for gloomy wounded types who need constant stroking! A robust sense of humour would be nice.

I like men who are good at and really enjoy whatever it is that they do, whether that's music, medicine, or mountain climbing. You get out of life what you put in...Chivalry, courtesy, and good old kindness are qualities that I really value in a man. (That old adage about how you treat children, animals and old people applies!)
