In Her Own Words
About Her
Looking back at photos and life's memories, I've come to see that I was often looking towards tomorrow's hopes and plans, now I know that today is also what it's about - choosing to make it good, being content.
Running my own business and getting lost in the 'Berg one weekend have been some of life's experiences that have shown me the depth of my own resources.
I laugh easily, am mostly sensible, and believe in behaving in ways that bring harmony to my circle of people. Though I do have a little rebellious streak. Or maybe I should say 'lively' not to scare anyone ....
I was married for 32 years then divorced and my last relationship of 10 years ended 2 years ago.
I have two easy-going children and 3 grandchildren and we are a close family. I also have a Jack Russell, who's thankfully slowing down a bit as he gets older.
I'm semi-retired, now helping my daughter in her business, as I still have a lot of energy and like to stay active.
About Her Ideal Match
Someone who understands nature, kind and affectionate, who enjoys his home and the outdoors. Preferably fit and active, looks after himself (doesn't pop wheelies on motorbikes and eats his vegetables etc ;) ). You enjoy living simply, walking and exploring new places and doing things together. but also have your own hobbies and interests.
You're more of a DIY-er than a golfer, more of a practical man than a banker... but I'm open-minded ....I'm not at all religious so not a match if that is very important to you.
