In His Own Words
About him
I'm quietly-spoken, attentive and tactile towards my companion. I love to cook, and absolutely to eat. Films, books, easy crosswords and current affairs are enjoyable. I treasure my daily arts of reflexology, yoga, and Tai Chi Chuan-Chi Kung-Taoism... these touchstones in my life.
Scrabble, cards, board games and charades are great with company. Classical or Hawaiian music, Radio 4 comedy or the 2:15 pm "play-drama", or just peaceful silence fill in the background wonderfully. Petting dogs, and tame cats is very peaceable. Love to hug kiddies, but can fit you in as well!
It has been said of me by ladies: "you do talk"; "I can feel your energy" (in my touch); "I like his qualities"; "you're clean", i.e., personal hygiene (surprised me, too!, though I really am, you know!). I'm considered one: with a centered presence; who likes to laugh and give smiles; and easy to listen to: "And I love to hear your voice, it sounds like an angel it's very soothing" (honestly, this is latest, via a 5/2014 email from a nurse in a professional setting).
You won't need a GSOH.... nah, just kidding! -- around me, it would be wonderful if you have one! Once befriended, I'd be happy for us to have fun here, and in new places.
About his ideal match
I try to live a balanced and harmonious existence. But I love to meet new families and make friends, visit new local places -- and travel further.

For Fun:
Walk, read, snuggle whilst watching the rain, view films, cook-eat, do games, be close and comfortable with easy massage, soft talk. Visit museums, do easy drives to fun places .... ferry rides, day-outs, some coach trips.

------------
Religion:
I've been with mainline Protestant denominations... still seeking silence, stillness, and simplicity, to center to the Tao ... to see the best of spirits and the better angels amongst us. Anyway, a seemingly noble ambition, and constant journey.
