In Her Own Words
About Her
I am 72 widowed after 38 years of a happy marriage. I have a son, aged 38 . I never had any affairs, and told my husband that I would kill him if he did.
I am a Cancerian, with all the good and the bad that implies. I called a few friends and colleagues to ask them what they think of me, and here goes:
Loyal, loving, nurturing, hard working, compassionate. I have a high EQ (emotional intelligence) and a good sense of humor. I smile through adversity, am a lateral thinker and love a challenge. I am tenacious and passionate about everything I tackle.
I love music: Classical,, Golden Oldies Jazz ,Latin American.. I love reading good books: biographies and autobiographies ; books of quotations; a passion for cookery books; and of course, motivational books.
Watching the waves of the ocean break on the rocks or a running river is good for my soul.
I have a mental list of things to do before I am part of the "jet set of the geriatrics":
~ Swim with the dolphins
~ Go to Venice (I have never been)
~ Go to the South of France and Provence again
.: Travel in South Africa.
I love to cook and entertain, as well as to spend time gardening. I enjoy socialising and having drinks with friends, as well as going to restaurants and the theatre. I love a good red wine and cognac.
About Her Ideal Match
I am looking for a gentleman with good old-fashioned values, ideally complimented by a good sense of humour and a kind nature, to talk to, make friends with and spend time with; and we can see from there.
