In His Own Words
About him
I have much to be grateful for: an affectionate 20 year old son, a large family and good friends, a comfortable home and deeply interesting work. Still, there remains at the centre that strangely shaped gap caused by the absence of an intelligent, humorous woman with whom to share it all. “It” being, variously, avid theatre and concert going (otherwise, why live in London?); long rural walks talking about everything and anything; interesting cuisine (I’ll choose Ecuadorian mountain food over five star from sheer curiosity); and perfecting the art of the lazy Saturday morning brunch.
And travel. I’ve spent the past 20 years working abroad, mostly in troublespots: Kosovo and Somaliland have their idiosyncratic charms, but I have a backlog of countries to visit for pleasure. Currently: Sardinia, Thailand, St Petersburg, the Norwegian fjords and a return trip to Tbilisi. Add your own dreams.
The pandemic put paid to the overseas work, and I’ve taken a London-based job in the civil service. So nine till 5ish, plus an honorary fellowship at King’s College London, but otherwise my time is my own – and yours too, if you want it.
So: we have pleasure in offering to our discerning readers one civilised, solvent male in good operating order, reliable and inexpensive to run, with several period features offering delightful prospects. Previously the property of one careless owner, and in need of a little care and modernisation, if his female relatives are to be believed. Early viewing strongly recommended, etc.
A friend tells me that in these profiles women adjust their age a little, as is their prerogative, and men lie about their height. (What do they do when they meet the woman, stand on a stepladder?) I am indeed six foot tall and the bearded photos are very recent. The jury is still out on that beard; otherwise, I’m sold as seen.
About his ideal match
I am looking for a long term relationship with someone who shows kindness, trust and honesty. Beyond that, surprise me.
