In His Own Words
About him
New Year new start ! I am a glass half full sort of person.
Like to travel anywhere in the world (almost), good food and wine ! Now hope to revisit the nice places I have worked around the world. I enjoy driving and have already done a few trips around Europe, not quite the same on your own so looking for a like minded travel companion. Not tried cruising, it has never attracted me being confined on a boat. Much prefer to go where my fancy takes me.
Like to be outside, either in the countryside of on the coast. Ideally in the warm sunshine, a lazy lunch outside with a nice glass of chilled white. Happy in my jeans but enjoy an evening out in the black tie too. Really nice to get dressed up for a special occasion a few times a year.
I enjoy time with my daughter and her family, relearning all the children’s game I had forgotten. Watching my granddaughter growing and changing.
I am told that I do not look my age, I certainly don’t feel it either !! Pipe and slipper ? What are they ?
About his ideal match
Happy in her own skin, free spirited, and enjoys the good things in life such as good food and wine as well as travel. Both planned and on the spur of the moment, whenever it takes our fancy. Likes being outside by the sea or in the country. Happy in relaxed clothing as well as the “little black dress” for a special occasion.
