I am a gentle, caring lady who still believes there are men out there that seek a friend to share life with. I bring an adventurous spirit having travelled to different countries to work and experience new challenges. I have a kind heart, a listening ear, a sense of fun, loyalty and friendship and I bake a mean cake! Friends tell me I am an innocent but I do believe in seeing the best in people and encouraging friends to be all that they can be.
I love dogs especially cocker spaniels and when I escape London life plan to find another one as a companion for my countryside jaunts. I also enjoy walking on a beach or near a lake, and am drawn to peaceful country living so one day I will escape from London to my dream cottage.
I have also been described as being very calm, but maybe that''s my life as a nurse - trained to cope with whatever happens. Last year I became a fan of nordic walking to keep fit, and despite the funny looks from others (its like ski-ing but without snow!)- it is a great way of exercising and fun when done in a group.
My friends are very supportive and we love sharing a nice meal, and a good ''catch up'' to share our dreams and experiences. I have a sense of fun, and believe that life is for living in all its fullness. Having been published in a small way in the past I have recently returned to putting pen to paper (or fingers to computer) and am working on several pieces of work that I will attempt to get published.
I became vegetarian 13 years ago for ethical reasons and have enjoyed the health benefits of a non-meat diet. Cooking is a joy and especially when I can cook for friends. I love reading, a wide range of music and do embroidery/cross-stitch - mostly as gifts for others.
Life has given me many special memories - but maybe you can help write my future and make that even better!
thanks for reading, and hope to hear from you soon
Gillian
