In His Own Words
About him
Active, outgoing. Enjoy walking, badminton, poetry and giving back to the community as a volunteer driver and in a service organisation. Wine group secretary - ie do the washing up. Brings a glow to my cheeks!
Love galleries, the tactile feel of beautiful objects - rice bowls, wood carvings, bronzes, life studies. Dream wistfully that I could create art works just like those in front of me.
Enjoy sitting intimately with a companion and lover sharing the moment of joy and wonder at the moon rising over water, or making eye contact when recognising a piece of exhilarating music. Love the sensations of swimming in warm seas and touching hands.
Reasonably trim. Do yoga classes in term time - and seize up in holidays.
Pretty well house trained. More importantly understand and practice give and take. I could even come to an accommodation on small things such as I don’t have tea in bed; however there’s always the Irish golf caddy joke “I’ll be there at nine o’clock, though I may be half an hour late”.
Happy in warm climes in shorts and top or, dressed appropriately, being outdoors in squelchy British weather. Equally have suits, DJ and a drawer full of ties left over from working life so look good dressed up.
Travel on and off and like the challenge of working out what foreign language signs mean. Have a bucket list of things to do, places to go.
Lived in South Korea for five years and have a soft spot for people from that region.
About his ideal match
Happy to find someone on the same wavelength for chatting about life, feelings and doing things together. Add physical attraction and - wow! - the spark will ignite!
Easy company, with a taste for culture. Takes care of her appearance and looks good, both informally and formally. Can also be happily and delightfully earthy at times. Will see the humour in Carol Ann Duffy's "Mrs Rip Van Winkle" (though not sharing Mrs VW's attitudes). You tickle my fancy and I'll tickle yours....
Happy if you have a small tattoo or two (I had ambitions 50 years ago though have never gone further than a henna yin/yang tattoo from the beach - and they fade after a fortnight)
A location within 100 miles makes for easy contact. But maybe an expat in Europe? Or someone considering returning to UK?
