In His Own Words
About him
Friends would probably describe me as a romantic, eccentric, mischievous, adventurous, idealist who sees the best in everyone and in most-every situation.
I love good quality food and although not a pub person, I like a glass of wine with dinner. I sometimes put Baileys on Porridge, Cointreau on fruit salad and even Rum in my Cocoa as a nightcap.
I'm afraid of water, heights and women's anger but I've sailed the Atlantic; parachuted, rock climbed and have a NZ Private Pilots Licence and I've been married three times. First time, we were young but had a lovely boy together and remained good friends. 31 years later, what seemed a good idea at the time, lasted 2 years! Third, on receipt of a cancer diagnosis, to save my Carer Inheritance Tax but my wake, scheduled for 7 March 2022, waspostponed and I've been 'living the dream' ever since.
I love classic cars, bee keeping and good conversation. I meditate every morning; I play basic level chess and, I fall asleep at night thanking God, my angels, guides and parents for my incredible good fortune (health, wealth and happiness), which I also do regularly when walking, driving or seeing God reflected in Nature, a person or animal.
My view of life is that this a wonderful play, designed by The Creator for Her and Our enjoyment and, when my role is over, I'll return to The Audience to join the fun of watching this Play and trying to prompt the remaining Actors, especially those who take their parts too seriously.
Having sold my yacht in the Canary Islands earlier this year I've contracted to buy an apartment there for winter and I've decided to sell some property in Ireland to complete that deal. Thereafter, the plan is, summer in Ireland, winter in the Canaries and the rest of the year in a campervan round Europe, with the odd excursion to NZ and to Oz to visit my son and granddaughter.
About his ideal match
My ideal companion would be a fine lady who has a positive outlook on life, is caring, supportive and most of all, tolerant of my eccentricities. Someone not fixed in her views and not negative, loud or aggressive.
Compatibility in everything isn't essential but if we could share some common interests that would be great. A deal breaker would be smoking, negativity and a lack of any kind of spiritual open-mindedness, interest or endeavour but I love Atheists, who usually ask all the right questions.
I would love to share walks and talks but if I could be encouraged to learn to cook (more than just vegetarian curry, my signature dish); learn to swim with confidence, exercise more, play chess and create an island getaway together, that would be delightful.
