In Her Own Words
About her
I'm an easy-going, positive and happy lady who genuinely enjoys life. My black Labrador keeps me busy and reasonably fit with her strict "two hikes a day" policy. She's a wonderful companion, but I'd quite like a human sidekick too.
Happy in wellies or heels, although, having a dog tends to mean I spend more time in wellies!!
I'm lucky to have a great circle of friends and enjoy spending time with them, but it would be lovely to have a special man in my life to share laughs, new adventures and the occasional spontaneous getaway.
Travelling is something I enjoy, whether that's exploring a new corner of the UK or venturing further afield.
When I'm not out and about, I can happily spend hours in the garden pretending I know what I'm doing. 😊
I also like a good book, preferably a whodunit type, thriller etc.
Although I am fully retired, I still work occasionally as an Examinations Invigilator during school term time, when mock or public examinations are being held.
The beauty of the role is its flexibility. I choose when I work and can opt for morning sessions, afternoon sessions, both or none at all, depending on what suits me.
It's a rewarding way to remain active and involved, meeting pupils and teachers and getting to know some genuinely lovely people along the way. The fact that I get paid for it is simply an added bonus!
About her ideal match
I'd love to meet someone who shares some of my interests... although they do say opposites attract, so I'm happy to test either theory! 😊
A good sense of humour is definitely a plus. Life's too short not to laugh.
Bonus points if you're still taller than me when I've got my heels on! 😉
But honestly, more than anything, it'd be nice to meet a genuine guy who's up for seeing where things go. No pressure, no grand expectations, just good company, some fun, and finding out if there's a spark.
