In Her Own Words
About her
I am lucky enough to have a good life and a lovely bunch of like-minded lady friends, but am not averse to the idea of finding a nice chap to go on adventures or snuggle up with. Someone who enjoyed dancing and/or folk festivals would be a bonus...
I love walking in the countryside and especially at the coast, my garden, folk music and international folk dance, world and classical music, intelligent conversation, playing table tennis, and anything that feeds my curiosity.
I also enjoy making things that involve an engineering component. I have made a working pendulum clock from a laser cut wood kit, and a tuned Glockenspiel from copper pipe
I’m quite public-spirited - I lead two groups for my local U3A, and do a bit of volunteering with a couple of local organisations
I asked a close friend what she would say about me, and she offered the following kind words;-
Barbara is a a true friend, kind, generous and thoughtful. She has an irrepressible sense of fun spiced with a spirit of adventure. Her intelligent, questing mind makes her conversation both interesting and thought provoking.
About her ideal match
Someone who has a similar approach to life - I value straightforward, open and honest relationships, kindness and consideration, and a willingness to try new things
I am not much of a consumer (other than of decent food!). I’m not very interested in acquiring stuff, in fashion or the cult of celebrity, so would probably not relate well to someone for whom these are important
You will probably be someone who favours natural, healthy looks and vivacity over intensive grooming - I am more Barbara Good than Margot Leadbetter!
I would be most interested in someone who can introduce me to new experiences as well as sharing some of my interests, and it would also be great to find someone I can relax with, something I am not especially good at!
