Helenbaden2, 73

Hallo, I am a 63 yoa blue eyed blonde and am modern minded in my dress sense and my love of music of all kinds, my favourite being blues and classic rock. I have travelled mainly in Europe for vacations and am now widowed after 20 years of marriage to a man i adored,.

I do not wish to go through the embarrassing experimental stages of meeting someone purely with the intentions of getting it together as i feel it more comfortable and reasonable to get to know people both men and women before thinking of breaking the ice on a familiarity. A like for like thinking with that attitude in mind would be more interesting.

I love my cats, i have five and they keep me young running around for as long as they can get away with it.

I drive, however, do not have a car at the moment.

What is on the menu, oh, i am a retired civil servant that likes to cook a huge shepherd's pie to suit a get together.

I am fairly healthy apart from hypertension obviously caused by the stress of London life and i appreciate a glass of wine later on in the day to settle me down for a good night's sleep.

I would like to meet people that are not pushy, that are genuine when it comes to respecting another person's life and interests and that we have a similar personification of not so heavy.
