42F Looking for thoughtful friendships
Hey!
I’m a 42F living in the North of England with my young children, and I’m looking for genuine, thoughtful friendships built around shared ideas, interests and hobbies. I’m happily single, so I’m not looking for anything more complicated.
I’m a chemistry teacher, an avid walker (usually around 20–30 miles a week), and a lifelong lover of music, film and books. I also enjoy illustration and arts and crafts.
Some of my favourite things:
Music: Mount Eerie, Bright Eyes, Phoebe Bridgers, Big Thief, Adrianne Lenker, Mike Flannery, Johnny Flynn, Laura Marling, Ben Kweller, MJ Lenderman, Jeffrey Lewis, Laura Veirs, Magnolia Electric Co., Radiohead.
Films: Anything by David Lynch, Wes Anderson or Robert Eggers; The Great Beauty, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, The Banshees of Inisherin, Poor Things.
Books: Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Salinger, Lovecraft, Graeme Macrae Burnet and Andrew Michael Hurley. I’m drawn to literary fiction, folk tales, and eerie, atmospheric stories.
Podcasts: Old Gods of Appalachia, The Magnus Archives, Jon Ronson’s podcasts, Hunting Warhead, I Am Not a Monster, S-Town.
I met one of my closest friends on Reddit, so I know genuine connections can happen here. If it sounds like we’d get along, I’d love to hear from you. 😊
