Nina21

Teacher

I'm 67 and from 'Countryside' - Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, South East (UK)

I'm looking for a man

I'm interested in: Friends, Romance or Long Term Relationship

[Last logged on : A long time ago]

Everyday is an opportunity to make a new happy end

Firstly I am a fun loving,happy,chatty person,easy to know.

Family is very important to me, I am a Mum and adore my children who give me so much joy. My eldest daughter lives on the other side of the world and I have two baby grandsons who I miss and adore! My other two children live and work in London and I visit often.

I am an Infant teacher and passionate about my work which gives me so much pleasure.

My interests are varied and many but my main hobby is Upholstery which I suppose satisfies my creative, arty side so you will often find me hunting through skips or at the tip,in junk shops or at an auction looking for furniture to restore.

I need to make time in my life for me now so am looking for someone to share some lovely times.

Someone who is first and foremost kind and caring. I want a best friend, romance would be amazing if we click. Someone who makes me laugh is essential and would be a great bonus! Someone to go out for dinner with,the cinema or theatre,someone to walk with,travel with. Someone to cook with or for, chat with and to read or be quiet with.

I just hope you are out there and can't wait to meet you.
