In His Own Words

About him

I was born & brought up in Romford but escaped in ’69 before too much damage was done! I like the quieter, rural life in north Essex, especially the Essex Marches around the Blackwater estuary.

I am now almost fully retired after 40+ years in hands-on buildings maintenance; I was self-employed and never without work. That said I still like to ‘keep my hand in’ with one or two loyal clients. So I now fill my time with house and pet sitting for a national company, holidays and trips, both at home and aboard plus hobbies and interests that I now have more time for. I'd love to travel more than I do, preferably with a like minded companion.

I’ve lived alone for a few years and do all my own pink jobs as well as the blue ones. I’m just as at-home in the kitchen as I am in the workshop, shed or garden. My lasagna, fish pie and Sunday roasts are always well received and clean plates follow!

I dress conservatively and mainly casually but I know where my DJ and wellies are, but I seldom wear them at the same time! I like to think I am a gentleman and there are very few of us left! I open doors for ladies, walk on the outside and buy flowers when the time is right.

I’m fond of cinema and theatre, especially ballet but strangely, not musicals! Love classical music, the blues and some ‘classic rock’ from previous decades. I quite like crime drama on TV but I really prefer to be socialising with friends and the members of my am-dram group.

Finally for now, I'm hoping to meet a fun lady to be, amongst other things, my companion, confidant, style consultant, co-chef, co-driver and hostess. In return I offer similar, old fashioned qualities.

So if you like what you have just read and don’t live too far from north Essex or love to drive, drop me a line and lets see if there’s a connection.

About his ideal match

A lady who's just a girl at heart. She must enjoy and respond to banter, love great food & wine, holidays & trips, near & far. Also an enjoyment of am-dram, cricket & rugby but certainly not football, are all desirable but not deal breakers.
