Purpleflowerpal (49) from Kent

5'3" afro-Caribbean, born in Liverpool, but now living in the South of England. I work in a hospital, end enjoy my career very much. Spent 9yrs in the RAF many years ago and enjoyed the experiences that I gained there, in particular the travelling, which I still like to do today, and would also like to do much more of in the future.

I have a fond passion for eating out and particularly enjoy the more spicy cuisines! Now that the evenings are drawing in,I am enjoying the new series of 'Strictly' -which I love, particularly as I have been doing ballroom and Latin American dancing for around 10+yrs. Sounds a long time but I am by no means an expert in this- I think my enthusiasm makes up for some lack of technical ability...

I go to the gym several times a week,and also run several times a week. However commuting to work sometimes means that I may not be able to go as often as I would really like to. I like to walk and spend time out doors exploring the countryside, and would prefer to do something outdoors at the weekend -whether exploring a new town/country park, rather than sat indoors in front of the TV.

I have a 17yr old so, likely off to Uni next year, so we are both fairly independent. I think we are both of the same mind that we want to enjoy life to the full, and also enjoy 'living in the moment.'

I have never really enjoyed politics, but during the last couple of years I have found myself beginning to enjoy politics very much- British and Foreign-and have particularly found the changes in recent times so interesting. I am by no means 'heavily' into politics, but times have been unexpected in politics, and my interest has certainly been piqued.

I am looking for like minded people-people who enjoy life,nature, exploring, fun, things -to me- enhance a persons life. If friendship develops from this, this would be very good; if romance also develops from this, this would also be good.
