In Her Own Words
About her
Energetic retiree, involved in various volunteering pursuits but would like to find a companion with similar interests to lighten the dark days of winter and enjoy summer sun!
I've had various careers in antiquarian bookselling, retail publishing and as an academic in the field of English Language. Retired quite late and now spend time back in a bookshop, supporting primary school children in reading, and doing image research work/copyediting on a volume on agricultural hand tools. Variety is the spice of life!
About her ideal match
Book, art/archaeology and wine lover.
Easy-going, enterprising, and doesn't mind doing the driving,
Possibly an Observer / Guardian reader.
I'm not really looking for a happy ever after scenario but it would be really nice to find someone with similar interests to spend time with in the UK and travelling to other places.
