In His Own Words

About him

Despite being a zero match for myself (something to do with gender) I can be happy in my own company and fairly self sufficient. Essentially young at heart and in body, (if I talk about a bypass I mean a road) year round sea swimmer, competitive runner, with big involvement in family, who likes grounded people with a sense of humour (I will make you laugh). My glass is always three quarters full although I am always tempted to drink the contents. If it were half full the accountant would say the glass is twice the size it needs to be. I enjoy simple pleasures but equally happy with excursions into the high life. I am interested in a wide variety of things but of the few I am passionate about there is no stopping me. I particularly like the fusion between cinema, poetry and music. I think shared interests are important but I am very happy to learn new things. I am not turned on by celebrity or status, positively put off by self importance. Understated but with substance would be my preference.

p.s. Lock up/down despite some downside has enabled me to do a retake on my good fortune in life, perhaps based around contentment with simple pleasures. I reread a favourite poem recently and a verse which I feel is a good summary.

“Here with a loaf of bread beneath the bough,
A flask of wine, a book of verse and thou,
Beside me singing in the wilderness.
And wilderness is paradise enow”

Sometimes on the beach after a swim it’s a flask of coffee and a packet of hobnobs, maybe singing to myself. Almost there!

About his ideal match

Someone who corresponds to or aligns with the above, anyone fit with a young and athletic approach to life and who is happy to take it a step and three quarters at a time bearing in mind that the clock is ticking. You will be able to laugh at yourself as I hope I can (laugh at myself, not you) as for example my DIY, sort of Norman Wisdom meets Frank Spencer. Romantic would be good, I find certain films require a box of Kleenex, such as the closing scene in Remains of the Day when Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson are waiting in the rain for the bus “We may never see each other again Mrs Benn...” box and a half for that one. Finally here is where I really limit my opportunities, I don’t do dogs, it is purely my problem, I realise. Sorry.
