In Her Own Words
About her
I have been told by friends I have to sell myself better. They say I look at least 10 years younger than I am, that I am sociable and fun to be with. Photography is my main interest now. I love travelling, wildlife and beautiful scenery. I have travelled to some exciting places in the world - including the Arctic and the Antarctic. A favourite place is Iceland. I love Alaska and the Falkland Islands. 2025 I am on a cruise to Norway, Iceland and Scotland. 2026 I am on a cruise to Antarctica and back to Iceland and round the UK. . I have had lots of adventures and exciting moments.
My husband died 6 years ago and I now want to move on and find happiness and love with a new partner who also has an interest in travelling and wildlife.
My career was in Finance and IT and I was a Finance Director responsible for both those areas . I have 2 beautiful Rag Doll cats.
I enjoy most music and enjoy going to live performances and Theatre but now need someone to go with me. I take photos for charities ( no cost to them) ie NT and Wildlife Trust. Qualified LRPS and working on ARPS. I have raised funds for a Hedgehog carer and local zoo selling my images.
My mother who at 100 looked 80 died at the age of 101. I am having fun working on my family tree and just had my DNA analysed as well. I have friends of all age My friends also told I was '' Independent, intelligent, loyal, world traveller, varied interests. Fun, friendly and adventurous lady with an active interest in life. Great love of the outdoors and nature. Great conversationalist . Beautiful inside and out, Very kind and thoughtful, A truly genuine person with a heart of gold. Kind patient, helpful, creative. One of life's givers, Fun, engaging and a superb sense of humour. You’ll make a man somewhere very happy.' As you can see I have some lovely and supportive friends.
Can you make me happy. I want to have some fun in my life again. I don't have many photos of me as I am usually the one taking photos.
About her ideal match
Someone who wants to travel and enjoys wildlife. Someone who is fun and good company. A common interest in Photography would also be good but not essential as long as they are happy to come with me to see what I am photographing sometimes and do some wildlife spotting. Most of all someone to look after me because that's what I need and become my soul mate. Someone to share my life with. I don't want to be on my own anymore. Looking for someone who can help me get fitter again and would like a long term loving relationship.
