In Her Own Words
About Her
Gutsy, resilient, creative, whimsical, spontaneous, intense, whacky humour, tad quirky, tender, caring, honest to a fault, no-nonsense gal - like a wholesome full-flavoured fruit salad! I always seek the silver lining behind dark cloud, & enjoy the challenge of overcoming adversity.
Have thus far enjoyed a relatively full & adventurous life.
Outgoing, yet relish quiet times/being in the moment. Enjoy party now & again, but prefer home-made meals with good company & home comforts.
Diplomacy/brevity not my strong suit, known to call a 'spade a spade'. Don't mean to sound arrogant, but don't suffer fools/jerks gladly. If your ego won't handle an amateur DIY diva, please DO click 'next'!
Not repeat interests etc [see below]. Have passion for sustainable living - busy developing various 'eco-friendly' projects to achieve good level of self-sufficiency, also nurturing food-producing flora. Prick me, I bleed green [but not behind my ears]! Love freshly-picked harvest from my micro 'urban farm'.
Have not had much chance to "explore romance" 2007-2016 since I was home-caring my vulnerable mother [now 91] in my space-limited home! Period of 'mummy-minding' has given me good insight into the 'parenting experience' & provided training necessary to develop resilience/compassion/empathy to 'grow old' with someone special! Been getting my life back on track in past 2 years due to my relocation to a fixer-upper "cottage in the country". Also been adopted by a gorgeous (abandoned) tom cat, who loves showing me affection..which makes him my "joy-boy" :-)
Generally, my hands-on daily routine of tending to my multitude of food-producing "green dependents" means i have limited time to engage in extensive socialising/online communication.. so i reserve these moments for well-matched connections. Should I not respond, please don't feel offended, & likewise!

About Her Ideal Match
Being inter-dependent, I'd welcome a like-spirited, green-thumbed 'best friend' with similar passion/dedication, to share decision-making/ maintenance of this rewarding lifestyle.
For me, a good romantic match needs to have that X-factor..also EQ, IQ, spiritual connection, common interests/values & chemistry to resonate, for the way forward to look promising.
So a good match for me would be a young-at-heart gentle giant, who is a flexible handy practical outdoorsy animal- & nature- lover, who doesn't sweat the small stuff.. but can stand up for what's the right thing to do... Which means he has a good moral compass, knows the difference between being protective & controlling, has the gift of remaining calm & optimistic, keeps the sunny side up..
... he's basically a non-chauvinistic, non-OCD type.. a loyal stable reliable honest decent, good 'all rounder' who can afford to step away from the 9-5 coal face..to enjoy time-out in 'off the beaten' track natural beauty. Or do some adventure travel.
For me, common interests means that he wants to share my pro-healthy planet passion, so he also enjoys a strong interest in food gardening, leading a low-carbon lifestyle which mitigates climate change, promotes self-sufficiency & sustainable living.. in essence he likes being a permaculture practitioner.. along with all its creative wackiness.
If sense of connection is mutually felt, there's no harm in seeing where this leads. [For me, connection & chemistry are not the same thing]. Chemistry is either 'present' or it's not, not to be taken personally.
And if 'romantic resonance' feels like pressure, good news is I'm happy to expand my platonic friendships.
PS mean no disrespect, but i'm not into facial hair..
