Angelofthenorth (54) from Cumbria
Hi, thanks for taking the time to read this, I am sure I will update the profile in due course as I really am unsure just how much to put in here. I'm a woman who can live on her own, but enjoys a lot of things that are enhanced with company, but it does have to be the right company. I love to read, not a great tv watcher, enjoy live music of all sorts, try to be somebody that gives at least as much as she gets, although having said that, I am not comfortable around those that expect me to be the giver all the time.
I was raised mainly in London but have lived in Cumbria for the last 18 years. I've been divorced for the last year or so, and single for a year before that, so decided it was time to see what I was missing.
Anything more you want to know, please just ask.

This is a tough one. I think that I don't have a 'type' but then if I am honest there are things that I like and dislike in order for there to be any hope of a spark. For a relationship to work, we both have to be attracted to one another, otherwise the best we can hope for is a friendship. I'd like to meet somebody that is as open and receptive to a relationship, without being desperate, because ultimately I would rather be alone that in a relationship for the sake of having a guy to tote me around. I guess somebody who is open to travel and trying new cultures and not someone who has the kind of attitude that means 'It's Monday so it must be chicken pie' that would drive me nuts, sorry :(
About me
I'm 54 years old and come from Cumbria in the United Kingdom. I'm divorced with two children. I'm 5' 7" tall and of average build. I don't smoke and I drink occasionally. I'm here for dating, friendship, hobbies and interests and business contacts.
My detailed facts
My hobbies and interests
|
Cooking
|
Yes, lots of things I enjoy cooking depending on who I am cooking for. Enjoy cooking things that make people smile and feel content, but equally I am not precious about my kitchen, feel free to share it :)
|
|
Shopping
|
Shopping is o.k. when I need something, I have the disastrous habit of looking for something perfect and ending up buying the first item I saw/tried on/. I have a bit of a passion for footwear and girlie things, but do not expect a man to trail around looking for things with me, trust me, there is no search required they call my name when they want to come home with me :) Despite that I truly am not a shopaholic :)
|
|
DIY
|
I'm not that bad, I undertook an Interior Design course, designed my own kitchen and have just redecorated the whole of the downstairs of my house. Not so good in the garden, I just get so frustrated with all the weeds that I seem to be so good at growing. Can't be good at everything I guess :)
|
|
Housework
|
Hmm housework, I do it because I hate seeing it a mess. Having said that, I currently work quite long hours, so there is always something that I feel should be done. Whilst the house looks generally clean and tidy, I have to confess that some cupboards really could do with a good declutter! I'm too honest for my own good!
|
|
Dining out
|
I enjoy eating out a lot, but it depends on where and with whom. I can be happy with a picnic made by myself, or a fabulous fish dinner, good pub grub, or haute cuisine. Most of all I love that somebody has taken the trouble to invite me and think of where to take me :)
|
|
Movies
|
Like a wide range of films, love The Kings Speech, but will watch most things apart from those that would give me nightmares, they are not my idea of entertainment :)
|
|
Theatre
|
Love the theatre, but not enough chances to get there. Really enjoy the outdoor productions in Lancaster, but happy to travel to see a good play :)
|
|
Music
|
My taste in music is quite wide ranging, whenever I think I don't like a particular genre, so I hear a track that I really like... too random and wide ranging to really be of any help :)
|
|
Gigs
|
I go to the occasional festival, live concerts and even small local events. It is again something that is better shared than alone :)
|
|
Pubs
|
Would never go out on my own, so pub visits are very limited.
|
|
Clubbing
|
Have been known to go clubbing, enjoy dancing hugely, so why not?
|
|
Newspapers and magazines
|
Not really a huge amount of time to read anything other than work related journals and my 'downtime' reads... see below.
|
|
Books
|
Total bookworm, my Kindle goes with me everywhere. I love Fantasy Fiction, huge Tolkien fan, but will admit to reading chick lit, suspense, autobiography, sci-fi... anything at all really.
|
|
TV
|
Not a huge fan of tv, if its on, it tends to be the news, and I will watch things on iPlayer if I really want to see it.
|
|
Watching sport
|
Here is where I lose any previous interest I may have encouraged. Cannot get excited about football on the tv, although I do enjoy watching live matches, as long as I am not freezing to death and soaking wet.
|
|
Playing sport
|
Not really had much time to do much other than keep relatively fit.
|
|
Hobbies
|
I'm a qualified masseuse, does that count as a hobby? I enjoy taking my dog out, she is a gorgeous chocolate coloured Newfoundland. Driving with the roof down on my car in the summer. Walking by the lakes, or up on the fells in the sunshine. oh.. and my guilty pleasure, I am a lotro fan.. and no, that has nothing to do with the lottery. If you have to google it, you will not 'get it' when you read about it. ;)
