In Her Own Words
About her
I am a generous, kind and loving person who laughs as much as life will allow. I was married a long time and have four children, all grown-up and flown. I have recently moved back to London after 25 years on Dartmoor. Born in London half Russian half Cornish - and have returned to my work as an actor, but I do miss the country and sometimes wish I had gone into farming. Having my lovely children brought a change of career and I've written and made films and other things since and have recently returned to work in the theatre. I love theatre, film and lots of music, Radio 4, art, photography, good writing, talking over long lunches and into late evenings with friends. I have always had animals in my life and like a yomp over the moor in the company of a dog or two. I can dress down successfully, but cut the mustard on the red carpet. And I learnt how to curtsy at a very early age. So I am tres sortable. I am articulate, have a sharp wit but a warm heart and perfectly happy with my own company. it would be nice to hang out with someone who warmed the cockles of my heart a bit. I am not into cars or motor-bikes except as a means of getting from a to b and any boat I set foot on has to be huge, at least two masted and floating in the Mediterranean. I love Scotland, Greece and Provence and would happily live in any of them. I am a good cook but can't eat it all, so love to feed other people, so extended family is always welcome and sitting around a long table in an olive grove with people I love, is my idea of heaven.
About her ideal match
My main criteria are a cracking and intelligent sense of humour, a good mind and a laid back personality. Chemistry is essential and I think that that is instantaneous. I would love to find someone who gravitates towards the arts because I expect that tribally we would be more compatible. And the senses are important - a vegan would be pointless because my excellent cooking would be wasted on him.
Ideally I would like to find someone who is happy with family and comfortable in their own skin. Someone who would like to have the odd adventure and have fun.My ideal man would be tall, cosmopolitan, down-to-earth but maverick, intelligent with no bitterness, willing to be patient with my occasional eccentricity, somewhat arty and most of all, very, very, funny. Again, tribally, it would probably help if we had had the same educational background i.e public school, university etc but I do have loads of mates who haven't had that experience. I would also want them to be happiest in the countryside, an animal person (who wouldn't leave the gates open so that the sheep disappear for three months and if they did, would know instinctively, how to get them back in again!) I am a good cook and like cooking for family and friends, but I am completely uninterested in wine, so maybe someone who could fill the gap. As well as happily accompany me on tours of whisky distilleries if necessary.
I also have no interest is snobbery either overt or invert and/or prejudice and am liberal in my politics. I am part of a professional community who have to be open minded and constantly questioning, so I would prefer not to have to fight my corner all the time! I am however passionate about the preservation of rural life and the continuation of traditional skills, so maybe there is a bit of the conservative in me. But it is with a very small c.
What Her Friends Say
Ellie said...
To be honest, I think Kate's profile says it all. She's been an amazing mum to me and her other three, adult children, she's also a loyal friend and good company. She has a really easy, down to earth personality, great sense of humour and doesn't take herself or life too seriously. I think it's important that whoever she ends up with, they like to laugh and know how to laugh at themselves. Someone with a good sense of self, not at all insecure; no banker-wankers or witch doctors, please! Aside from her great sense of humour, Kate is informed, articulate, can go on at length about history, theatre and the arts without snobbery or pretension. She's genuine in everything she does and, in doing so, has assembled a large, eclectic group of friends from all walks of life, drawn to her sincerity and anarchic wit. She's great fun, a great mum and an inspirational woman to top it all off!
