In His Own Words

About him

Too many books, hobbies, and stuff which might come in useful (is this a trait of engineers or it because I have had to clear too many houses as an Executor?).
After a service as an Officer in the RAF, I seem to be as busy as ever. Although I have been content on my own for some years, I would like to find that special someone again with whom to share what life delivers. I am not too old to fall in love again.
Please do make contact - you will never know if there is chemistry or compatibility unless you dip your toe in the water.
I have just returned (Oct 2023) from the long drive to Portimão (Portugal) – I was helping at a sailing regatta for disabled sailors.
I enjoy theatre and opera, some films, musicals and concerts; how much better are such things when the experience is shared. Playing Bridge keeps my brain working. I always have a variety of books on hand on a range of subjects.
Practical at home, in the garden and I enjoy cooking. I look after myself (Pilates) and I have two eyes, arms and legs, and the space between my ears enjoys being challenged – preferably every day.
I find sailing yachts brings happiness (once I’ve forgotten being cold and wet!); I enjoy voyaging on canals (very good for dog walking but it so much more fun with someone else).
I visit France at least once a year to see friends and to enjoy the French life.

I believe I am a happy, caring, compassionate and tactile person. I am loyal and supportive friend; I am a poor mind-reader - I know that being completely open makes for greater comfort.

I am far from perfect, nor have I been blessed with film star looks. There is so much more to me than this brief note; so don’t be shy – ask! My main profile photo was Nov 2020, others are not that recent, but I'm told that I have not changed!
I do not think I can have a satisfactory conversation in endless messages and much prefer speaking and meeting in person.
I am willing to drive to meet - distance should not be an obstacle.

About his ideal match

What am I seeking? It's all in the compatability and chemistry.
Someone who will lift my heart and whose voice and smile cheers me - I hope that you would feel the same. You will have opinions and not be reluctant to challenge me.
If you can play bridge - even as a beginner - that would good.
We will share some interests and accept those that we do not share. If you've never been on canals, you will be willing to try to handle a boat.
Someone who is interested in life and living; who would like to share the autumn of their life; who would rather read than clean house! There will be a meeting of minds. You will want to share your joys and sadnesses and expect me to do the same.
I’d like a companion who enjoys gazing into the embers of the fire; someone who likes holding hands and hugs and cuddling.
