csi8 (50) from Suffolk

I may be carrying a few extra pounds [or, actually, quite a few more, if truth be told] but I am happy in my own skin. i wont judge you without knowing you first, please give me the same respect

I love to do daft things like kite flying, playing pooh sticks, watching thunderstorms, playing in the snow, laying back and watching cloud shapes or spontanious midnight picnics

I am an avid reader and enjoy mostly anything but especially crime or Stephen King, but have also being known to dip into the likes of Terry Pratchett and other Fantasy/Sci-Fi. Alongside reading I also enjoy watching movies whether at the cinema or curled up with a dvd and a glass of wine - with equal enthusiasm I enjoy Weepies, Thriller, Comedy or Horror (so long as you will hold my hand during the scary bits).
I enjoy nothing more than a good discussion or debate (be it about culture/politics or any subject) but I hate these to turn into arguments which can often happen if somebody in the discussion is not open to others opinions.

My 4 teenage sons [14,16,16 & 19] and I are great animal lovers and at the moment I have a dog, chinchilla, fancy rats and a tropical aquarium.

Would like to find a sane,incurably romantic, tactile intelligent guy, someone who:

a]realises that whilst my children ARE my life, theyre NOT my WHOLE life.
b]actually knows the meaning of the phrase "long term relationship" and all that it entails
c] wants to work and have fun with a relationship thats going to lead somewhere, not just someone wanting a fwb whilst looking for that 'something better' to come along
d]knows the difference between making love and having sex. Both are equally fun, but.............

Someone who would like to share friendship, trust,love light and laughter with an equally incurably romantic, tactile,intelligent woman, who loves nothing more than curling up and snuggling down with the right person, walking in woods/on beaches, jumping in leaf piles and puddles. In short living life
