catkin, 66 - Pietermaritzburg

I am a kind, caring, compassionate, sensitive, creative and intelligent person, with a whacky sense of humour and I love children and animals. I have a foster child aged 19 who was with me since she was one, and has now left home to spread her wings. My family at home is five cats. I am shy and introverted, so you are unlikely to find me at parties or bars. My hobbies include teaching Highland dancing, sailing (when I can), celtic, classical and folk music and opera, and anything arty-crafty. I work with polymer clay, wire and beads. I am a retired academic and I freelance from home in research design, statistics and editing.

A woman (45 - 68)

Ideally I would like to meet someone vegetarian in Pietermaritzburg who also loves children and animals and generally prefers a quiet time at home - or watching the sunset in the berg or a moonlight walk on the beach. Someone caring, intelligent, with a sense of humour, and patient to a fault! I would get on well with another 'potterer'. I would go well with someone who supports causes, someone who can have intelligent conversations with me and not treat me like a fool, and yet also know when it is OK to be silly. At the end of the day, red wine, gentle massages, and another day well-lived...
