In His Own Words
About him
Retired Architect-Teacher, teaching at Postgrad level for the last 20 years, with special interest in tropical skyscrapers. Likes U3A, Architecture, museums, urban and country park cycling, Radio 4, a bit of cooking, opera + cinema; spectating football, swimming, woodland work. Very practical (making, building, repairing). Solar-heated Carbon-zero house. Green-minded, eco-enthusiast.
Competent at cooking, knitting and guitar; member of two choirs and loves singing to friends with guitar over Zoom or Whatsapp!
Likes travel, preferring culturally interesting places with pleasant female company. Keeping very fit (rowing, cycling 600km/month, swimming) and am younger than my numerical years. (one of my 50 year old past-students asked how I remain perpetually 48). Windsurfer and Yachtmaster....
Thoughtful and generous. Tactile, ironic humour. Try not to take anything too seriously....
Double vaccinated against Covid.
(Hates Trump and deeply sad about Brexit, Austerity, Climate change, and the limitations of the Lockdown)
Widowed 2017 after 42 good years. Two grown-up children and two grandchildren, perhaps three... nice extended family.
Currently live in Nottingham, but has flat in Bournemouth, family in Norwich and Bournemouth)
About his ideal match
How about: Guardian/ Independent/ Times-reader BBC Radio-2-3-4-6 listening friend to discuss current affairs, share coffee or cooking, go to restaurant, theatre, concerts with, perhaps more.
Friendship, and more if possible with the right chemistry, but =don't feel pressured about partnership=: if you just need a friend for talk, news, music, cycling, cinema etc, then please reply. Long Distance Relationships are possible, so distance is not a big problem.
Later, opportunities for sport and travel: hope so?...., including trying hobbies that you might have. Theatre and opera lovers are welcome. An interest in leisurely Cycling would be extremely appreciated, as would sharing music....
Need: well educated, kind, good conversation, sense of humour essential, interesting profile (e.g. Art, music, choirs, gardening, cycling, travel) is helpful.
Emotionally stable. 'Phlegmatic and Sanguine' please, not 'choleric or melancholic'. (I have experienced those...)
Please, no Trump or Express/Sun supporters!!
