In His Own Words
About him
I have had an interesting life working mainly in the arts including 15 years in Local Government (more interesting than it sounds) and 7 years in Academia. I now fundraise, run a couple of music festivals. I also have a small holiday property business.
I love adventures, especially on the water. I have a 10m sailing boat which I sail round the coast and to France. I also love walking, thinking, writing and good conversation. I am very musical and am a musician of sorts when the mood takes me.
I am quite well travelled but there's still lots to explore in Britain and abroad.
I scrub up well and have a very good sense of humour. I am organised, a good planner and practical (gosh that sounds so dull!). I am looking to expand my social circle, get out more, and if a relationship comes from that, then that's a bonus.
About his ideal match
You will have warmth, intelligence, empathy, energy, a sense of fun a bit of style (wellies with ballgown?) have travelled and lived a bit. You will have a sense of adventure, your feet on the ground willingness to take the odd risk (I am very much the odd risk) and be willing to reach for the stars. You won't mind camping on boats and will like being on the water. Not asking much then am I?
