In His Own Words
About him
Why oh why would anybody join a site like this in the middle of this pandemic?
There might be many reasons but I guess we're all on this site because for one reason or another we are lonely.
I include myself in the above but it's difficult.
I'm a retired newspaper editor living in Newport Shropshire.
Since the death of my wife in December 2018 I have gradually learned to come to terms with my new situation. I have a very supportive family and a wide circle of friends. But no one with whom to share special moments and plan for the future.
I have adapted well since my loss. But I find no pleasure in cooking for myself and even less in eating alone in restaurants.
I went abroad for a holiday in the sun in March 2019. Having booked it I realised that it would be the first time in my life that I had been on holiday alone. I found things very difficult to start with and although I made friends with other holidaymakers I now know that holidays abroad alone are not for me.
Most people find me interesting and I'm a good listener.
I enjoy going on holiday and like listening to music and reading.
My birth certificate says I am 74 but despite creaking knees I am very active and feel much younger . I enjoy walking and am a member of two local jazz clubs
Cricket in the summer and jump racing in the winter. A chat with friends at the pub and a nice meal.
I have a son and daughter and four wonderful grandchildren.
I have been retired for 20 years and was really enjoying life until the death of my wife.
I remain positive in outlook and look forward to the next chapter.
Drop me a line.
I won't bite and rest assured I'm not here to mess with your life.
My pics are recent but somehow they never reflect the real me.
About his ideal match
