In His Own Words

About him

Last year I put my old life behind me and moved from the south of England to Scarborough. I am now living in a gorgeous Grade 2 listed Georgian townhouse a minute from the sea and harbour and just round the corner from a medieval castle. The people here are amazingly friendly and I have made many good friends already. However I realise that I do need someone to share this life with. Whilst I enjoy independence, I think that at heart I am a romantic. It's also no fun laughing at your own jokes!

My passions in life are books, literature, art, theatre and classical music. I have an embarrassingly large book collection and a collection of modern art (none of it by anyone famous). I have a particular interest in Indian military history and have co-written a book on this subject. This makes me sound rather nerdy but I really am not, in fact I am a bit of a party animal. I have travelled all over the world in my previous life but I am enjoying getting to know North Yorkshire and its wonderful coast and hills. I am a volunteer reading assistant at the local junior school and I love the interaction with the kids - they are so funny! I have a lovely little garden but I can’t claim any great knowledge of horticulture. I can cook well enough to meet my own needs and to do the occasional dinner party.

I hope I am an interesting man, tolerant, patient, kind and fun loving, and I think this is how I am generally regarded. I am sometimes mocked by my friends in the local pub for my aversion to things modern (I don’t have a television, and don’t use Facebook for example) but this is only because I have so many other interests. I exercise regularly so I am fairly fit and slim and people tell me that I look very young for my age - I certainly feel it! A little seven year old girl once said that I have a nice smile and lovely eyes - you must be the judge of that!

About his ideal match

I am looking for a lady who is intelligent and at ease with herself, has a positive outlook, shares at least some of my interests, will get on well with my new friends and is fairly uncomplicated. I think that liking books may be an important qualification as well!
