In Her Own Words
About her
I'm a very straightforward woman, into the simple things (gardening, family, food, learning ..). Totally honest, reliable, no-one would call me outgoing but I love the right social situation. Especially love anything by the sea or water of any kind, and the outdoors in general. Music is important too - playing, singing. And a bit of sport (not averse to watching the footie, love tennis, not so sure about rugby, lost when it comes to golf). I'm a big fan of the Edinburgh Festival (all of them) but rarely have anyone to go with. Traveled a lot when younger, still a Geordie at heart.
Realistic and well-informed optimist. Someone recently described me as 'having an iron will' - not sure if that's good or bad!
About her ideal match
Someone interesting and interested in life. Intelligent, well-read, political feelings, reasonably healthy and into keeping that way. I'm not looking for the love of my life, more someone to have fun with, share activities, add a bit of inspiration to life.
What Her Friends Say
Fiona said...
Alison & I are old school friends & later, fellow travellers & adventurers. She went abroad for a year; I followed. We've hung out together regularly over the ensuing 40-odd years & always enjoy each others'company, She's what she says she is in her profile: honest, intelligent, cheerful, resilient, broad minded, curious, fun to be with. I've known her 4 great kids all their lives & watched them grow into well balanced, sociable people.
I'd recommend her!
