In Her Own Words
About her
I am fun to be with, good conversationalist, entertaining - am usually tolerant of others though with strong opinions on political social issues, Culturally refined with wide range of interests in theatre, art, cinema, literature, For lifestyle I walk regularly, do yoga and pilates, occasionally garden, and for leisure read, watch movies, visit galleries and go to the theatre. My outlook is one of 'liberal' benevolence, with concern about the way the world is going, and wish it were a better place . Seek to find fulfilment in a stimulating, loving relationship and remain optimistic. I was widowed last year. At present I travel between New Zealand where I have family, and England where I have been working for over 20 years, and where I am based in retirement (I was a university lecturer in English), resarching, editing, giving occasional lectures. These interests continue to expand through various networks and professional links, but i am also open to exploring other avenues of life and leisure with the right person
About her ideal match
Someone who is entertaining and good company, who can see the humour in situations, make an impression socially and in public, yet be thoughtful and considerate. I look for flexibility and tolerance as well as the buzz of shared interests, while mutual attraction and some chemistry matter. Finding intimacy and romance would be a bonus. I am attracted by the unusual and the challenge of the unknown hence appreciate creativity in approaching problems, and a passion and enthusiasm for work and life. Being able to develop mutual friendships, a domestic life, and enjoy social, cultural and outdoors activities are all desirable in my ideal match
