MsTical (52) from Hampshire

I am a happy, caring, sensitive lady with an often very daft sense of humour. I originate from Brighton, but now live in Hampshire on the outskirts of Southampton, near to the beautiful New Forest. I only have 1 child living at home with me now - the others have flown the nest but visit often! My eldest daughter has provided me with my first Grandchild of whom I am very proud.

I would describe myself as down-to-earth and young acting. Fairly intellectual, loving, open minded, practical, romantic, sensitive, spiritual and talkative! I rate honesty and communication very high in any type of relationship.

I like being close to nature by walking in the Forest or at the beach, or just exploring new places with a digital camera in hand. One of my favourite places is Netley Abbey. It's a very atmospheric ruined Abbey, which I believe is haunted. Other places I like are Beaulieu village, Brockenhurst, and other parts of the forest.

This quote sums up how I feel and think about life:

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience" Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

My favourite, most relaxed and happy times are when I am sitting outside somewhere quiet away from the stresses of crowds, in warm sunshine, with nothing to do for an hour except admire the seemingly insignificant things of life that we ignore when busy - butterflies, clouds, trees swaying in the wind,the gentle lapping of waves on the beach, etc. Being able to take time to really appreciate 'being' and to listen to my inner voice - a sort of meditation and just absorbing that 'human experience'.

I work for a College which can be very busy, so chilling out is vital! I love 'time out', I use aromatherapy & massage to relax me as well as walking and gardening.

I like eating and drinking with friends -I like BBQ's, chinese, Italian and Indian food, custard doughnuts and chilled chardonnay! Maybe not all at once!

I like some pubs especially the quaint ones in the New Forest. In the summer I enjoy a picnic or cold drink in the sun, but also like playing pool or trying a pub quiz - although I'm not very good!
I love learning new things and believe that life is a journey from which to constantly learn both formally and informally.

I enjoy live music sometimes - most types except heavy Metal and love a good (or bad!) sing along! I love theatre of all kinds and watching good films and dramas at the cinema or on the sofa! It would be good to find new friends to share some of these things with!

New friends and possibly a new relationship, but no rush.
