i''m in love with the beauty of the natural world. i live in the country and each day is a new act of discovery for me. i frequent folk clubs, i sing, ride, walk in the beautiful Bucks countryside where i live. i feel truly at peace with the world when i''m walking through woodland, any time of the year. pine forests under a layer of snow are magical. i am interested in folklore, traditions and dance. i''m also a voracious reader, i swim .....not very well and i hate the getting dry bit afterwards! one thing i haven''t tried but have always been fascinated by is falconry - maybe this and potting are two hobbies i would like to be involved in when i have more time. i adore the cinema - the whole experience and whatever happened to Pathe News! for preference i would almost always be drawn to more artistic films and those with quite dense dialogue. my pleasures are really quite simple and i enjoy nothing as much as a meal or a delicious glass of red wine with a group of friends. i also love objects made from wood or iron. i''m a graduate, a professional working in what you might loosely call the ''caring professions''. i''m strong, independent and considered good-looking - i''m 5'' 4" with shortish hair and green eyes and my build is small/medium .................depending upon your interpretation.
i''ve recently returned from a 3-year stint working in the Republic of Ireland and i''m settling in to a new post back in the UK. although i''m comfortable with my own company and have many good friends, i would love to meet a man with whom i could share my time and interests, my thoughts, conversation and slightly off-the-wall sense of humour. i believe that friendship is the foundation upon which a good and lasting relationship is built and although intimacy is very important, friendship happens first. i would love to think that there is a man out there whose life might be enriched by my presence and who could add so much more joy and enrichment to my own life. there is so much more i could say about what i hold dear in my head and in my heart but that might be for another day.
