In His Own Words
About him
Happily retired after a working life spent in London and on the south coast, and widowed in 2009, I moved to Leicester six years ago to be closer to family. I'm looking for someone to share good times, good meals, and good conversations.
I am very active, and enjoy playing golf (don't worry - you don't have to!) I also enjoy literature and music, art galleries and good restaurants. Lifelong Francophile with a love of wine, and I would love to find someone who would also enjoy holidays in France and Spain.
About his ideal match
I would love to meet someone with a great sense of humour (essential), and who is active but also enjoys an evening with a good film and a glass (or two) of wine.
Above all, I'd love to meet somebody lively, who hopefully shares some of the same interests as me.
