In Her Own Words
About Her
Not necessarily in that order ;) But I think there should be an unconscious recognition of something familiar, that makes you feel it might work, when you first meet.
I live in a beautiful place and I have children and grandchildren (and a dog) who love me. Most of the time. Actually the dog loves me all the time. Btw, I am on civil terms with my ex, divorced since 2010, no issues.
I prefer to make my pics available to favourites or by request, because I live in a small town and feel too exposed otherwise
My happy place is in the kitchen making a meal for a few family or friends with some good music in the background and a glass of wine.
I have travelled a little, to Europe and parts of Africa. I love road trips and padstalletjies - loved the Karoo towns before Daily Maverick discovered them.
I enjoy an interesting hike (Ebb & Flow, Robberg, Drupkelders are a few), a game of scrabble, reading... I'm enjoying discovering the W Cape plants and birds though I'm not a birder as such. I don't like the idea of retirement and like to stay active and engaged - currently help my daughter with her small business.
About Her Ideal Match
The person I'd like to meet should be reasonably active, interested in and curious about the world. A practical man, not too urban(e). We can crack a gentle joke at each other's expense without the other getting worked up, and talk to each other.
Someone who enjoys and understands nature and the outdoors, but no Camel Man. Opulence and consumerism turn me off, I enjoy good simple things.
