Verena (71) from Essex

I am not a member of essential..so cnnot accept hugs/kisses. To describe myself is very difficult as one day I will dress casual and the next mod., very outgoing and the next classic/trendy.  I have long hair with streaks mostly worn up in soft styles.I am 5'3" medium build and very tactile. I have many interests.  In the summer I play bowls and petanque but my main hobbies are DIY and painting as in art. My favourite medium is oils. I AM mostly a very positive thinking person as I need to be, being a widow of some years. My time has been spent travelling far and wide but am now ready to explore closer to home.I am not a member of essentials so can only pickup hugs/kisses

I would like to meet a gent who is nicely spoken..a non smoker, takes a pride in himself and who enjoys sharing the cooking for a meal for two. I still like to have a good laugh and enjoy the cinema and theatre trips. I have spent many years travelling far & wide & would be content to holiday closer to home. I love france, & would love to go back to some of the islands. I do not have essentials so can't receive hugs/kisses etc.,
