In Her Own Words
About her
I am a born optimist, every cloud has a silver lining. I think I am an introvert but my friends do not agree. I enjoy ballroom and line dancing. During the pandemic I have taken to walking (almost) daily but other than that I am not into other exercise. I am interested in the spiritual side of life, occasionally meditate. I edit a monthly newsletter for an organisation I belong to. I believe that we are here to learn and everything that happens to us - good or bad - is a lesson.
About her ideal match
I could not imagine living with someone again but it would be nice to have a friend who lives within a reasonable distance to share some time with. Someone to go to theatre, dance, gardens, museums, walks, talks with.
