In Her Own Words
About her
Hello!
I live in Northern California, but my late partners and ex were all from the UK. I spend a lot of time in the UK, and I am willing to relocate (I have lived in Oxford for a year previously). The UK is like a second home to me. Lots of friends, and former in-laws. I am also fine with a man who would like to live in full or part-time in California.
My peaceful Tuscan-style home is in the northern California wine country. The ocean, Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, fabulous food and wine close by. Los Angeles and Hollywood Bowl concerts only a 40 minute flight.
All my profile photos are recent, and not altered. The photo with my friends was late summer 2023, at The Trout in Oxford. Photos also of my home, and my Collie, Mr. Darcy.
I am a calm, intelligent woman, with a good sense of humour. I enjoy interesting conversations, sailing, walks in the country and by the coast, and gastro pubs. I also enjoy trips to the city occasionally for theater, classical concerts, and museums.
I choose to have a drama-free life. Therefore, I am only interested in very intelligent, kind, thoughtful gentlemen with no drama or anger.
I am a retired Environmental Scientist (biology). I worked for the California Environmental Protection Agency in environmental law compliance. I was also a music industry publicist for my late partner.
I am financially comfortable and have a home, and gardens. Looking for the same in a gentleman.
About her ideal match
I would like to meet an interesting, university educated, kind, intelligent gentleman, who has a good sense of humour. A man who appreciates classical music. Prefer someone who enjoys long walks, road trips, some travel. A sensual man who still enjoys physical intimacy and romance. I am hoping to build a lasting friendship together, and more.
Deal breakers: I am not attracted to loud, boisterous men. Prefer thoughtful, intelligent communicators. Sorry but I am not into shaved heads (balding is fine), heavy drinkers, poor hygiene, motorcycles, cruise ships (Viking ships are excluded), rough camping, disco or tattoos. I adore clean, well-trained dogs. But not on the sofa or bed (unless they have their own sofa). 🙂 🐕
