In His Own Words
About him
Don't sail, ski, bungee jump or other silly things - just an old romantic. Don't do golf either
I am a happy bear, i.e. every day is a good one and happy to be alive.
I have been widowed some years. I miss personal female company, if only to chase me around the house, (can't run either), but especially the daily chats, meals, hugs, cuddles, more. Something a woman's presence and especially her touch that cannot be replaced
Personal qualities are: honesty - Loyal, trustworthy, confidante (secrets stored free of charge)
Not easily offended, relaxed/laid back.
Not a worrier, but concerned as the situation demands
My shoulder is always available to lean on when troubled or just for comfort
I speak my mind, not always diplomatic, i.e. if you are afraid of an answer - don't ask
Realistic, I am an engineer, so the half glass situation means your glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
Some think my humour is a bit OTT, I do try to temper it to the situation.
I believe in courtesy and good manners, some call it old fashioned. I always make time for people, the world can wait
Good company, living, music (various), food, and wine with meals is essential, would like a partner to share
I am fully housetrained - checked out on household appliances and can cook (no one poisoned yet). Pretty good around the house, gardening is something else, need teacher.. Good at cutting grass
I have wandered the world most of my life, work and pleasure, and now looking at easing up. - not stopping, it would be good to have a travelmate
Current plan - sorting my house, many projects, a companion would help. If you are handy with drills saws, etc., bonus
I am very attached to the beard. It doesn't just hide me, it comes in very handy for some extra TLC on your soft spots. Have recommendations to this effect
I try to help water conservation, so taking a shower with a girlfriend, helps, besides being fun.
Basically, what you see is what you get. No small print no guarantee
The pics are from nineteen fish and chips to recent.
About his ideal match
Now the hard part - no offence meant - see above.
Hello Good Ladies and Naughty Ones
As promised/warned I have posted some photos to frighten you. More available if you want to be really scared.
I am looking for an independent lady who feels good in her skin,. Most essential she has a broad sense of humour, can take a joke and laugh at herself and me
Honesty is paramount for me, there can be no relationship of any kind without mutual trust
You can be a 'Plain Jane' as long as we can communicate. Long legs, (Mrs.A was six foot. sorry, meant one metre ninety), a shapely figure and a pretty face a bonus but NOT essential. Happiness, laughter and honesty IS
If you like good food, a glass or two of wine, concerts, opera, ballet, relaxing, walking hand in hand
Telling about your day, especially the bad ones, to someone who will listen - call me, I have ears and broad shoulders. No promises of solutions, but I will try
Basically, if you are an honest, happy person we can meet, talk, share a drink or meal, see what develops, etc. Tell me your relaxing rendezvous and I will find you. I like to sit at street cafes and watch the world go by and put it to rights, need company for this. I enjoy a good cup of coffee, but find it difficult finding one these days, how about yourself? Any recommendations
Nearly forgot, If you can read a map in a car on the move, a big bonus
