In Her Own Words
About Her
I am warm, energetic, intelligent, curious, resourceful, gentle and assertive.
My interests are diverse. Reading: Current reads - SPQR, A History of Ancient Rome, & Ravenna, Capital of Empire, Crucible of Europe. Most recent movie: The most recent Met Opera Live in HD or Bolshoi ballet screened at the Cinema Nouveau. Some old, favourite movies: A Fish Called Wanda, Cabaret. My Fair Lady. Music: Anything from chamber music to Rod Stewart. Would love to attend the Thursday concerts at the City Hall more often. Most recent holidays - Pre-Covid three week trip to Portugal. A 16 day trip to Italy in May of this year.
I love being physically active and it is really important to me to spend time in nature. I belong to a hiking group and walk on the mountain as often as time permits.
I think Cape Town is the most amazing city, not only for its beauty but because of the rich cultural life made possible by the people who live here, and who give freely of their knowledge through the variety of societies that abound.
Travel is a passion that I would like to indulge more often. I had hoped to return to Russia, where I have visited twice, but given the invasion of Ukraine this is off the radar while Putin is in charge. In 1969/70 I was an exchange student at Laguna Beach High School, California. In 2020 the 50th reunion was cancelled due to Covid, but has now been rescheduled for October. So I will be on my way, stopping off at Istanbul en route. Locally, the Cedarberg beckons and the African bush appeals hugely.
I value beauty and quality, in all their manifestations.
I have a wide circle of friends and enjoy entertaining, but I also need a regular dose of solitude. My job is fulfilling and I am involved in community activities.
Photo's available to "Favourites". Most of the photos were taken within the past 28 months.
About Her Ideal Match
My ideal partner would be a good communicator, socially adept, physically active, have fulfilling hobbies and/or a fulfilling career, and would share many of the interests I have listed in "About me". Yet, he would also have interests of his own, and he would value the time and space to pursue them. He would be reliable and stable, yet adventurous and open to the spur of the moment, and ready to follow his instincts when an intriguing situation beckons.
If he is not into opera, classical music, or other of the cultural interests I have listed, this is not a problem. I can attend these while he is playing golf, watching rugby,.... whatever.
