Interests
Hobbies: I love reading (thrillers, novels, non-fiction, Victorian literature, whatever) and watching movies (oldies, comedy, drama, sci-fi, fantasy, action, thrillers), have broad interests, enjoy pottering in a garden and am an enthusiastic amateur photographer. I enjoy discussion and debate and am always keen to learn. I have a genuine interest in people. I enjoy watching some sports but am about as athletic as a bath sponge. I really enjoy walking / hiking though! I would love to be able to dance and sing but, out of consideration for others, only do so in private.
Hot spots: I love walking on a beach, watching a sunset, chilling next to a river. Pick-nicks are fun. Staying home for conversation, a meal, DVD or to read is great too. I don�t have a favourite place to eat really...
Sports: Walking / Hiking
Favorite things: I find passion - not only physical - very appealing. I enjoy most foods except hard boiled eggs. My favourite colour would depend on whether you meant for eyes, flowers, wall paint, clothes, etc. I enjoy most music other than rap, country & western and really esoteric jazz.
Last reading: "Roadside Crosses" by Jeffrey Deaver. Currently reading "Persuasion" by Jane Austin. Next on my list: Peter Carey�s "Biography of London".
Common interests: Travelling, Political interests, Music and concerts, Museums and art, Movies / Videos, Hobbies and crafts, Gardening / Landscaping, Book club / Discussion
Descriptive information
Date me: My friends describe me as smart, funny, loyal, caring, loving, compassionate and empathetic ... I have also been told I have the body of a younger woman - I hope she doesn�t notice and ask for it back! I have been alive (and sober) for almost 49 years so of course I have baggage. I confess I trip over it from time to time but I don�t unpack it to beat others up with it. I'm a good listener and both practical and creative. I take friendship and commitment very seriously so I am not into games or manipulation and won't accept being on the receiving end of them. I'm honest and open and want the same in return. I�m not impressed by money; it is not a yardstick of worth in my life. I look at the person beneath. I enjoy nice things but am not materialistic. I have never cared about fashion and hate wearing make-up. What you see is what you get!
What I want: I�m not looking for my other half as I feel complete. I am looking for intelligence, humour, gentleness and love; a man with a generous soul who is trusting and trust-worthy. I am seeking someone who will view me and treat me as an equal. I would love to find someone to share with, talk with, laugh with, learn with and grow with, a partner who can rely on me and I can rely on. I believe loving and caring is about supporting the other person to be the best they can be while making sure you stay true to yourself.
