In His Own Words
About him
I am independent but would love to meet someone to share some of the things I enjoy and discover what they would like to share. Yes, I am a romantic.
Originally I trained as a sculptor, went into teaching, and after retraining, spent most of my career as an architect. I have recently encountered a more spiritual side to life and discovered the joys of walking.
I enjoy cooking and eating, look after myself and maintain my health and fitness with regular walks with friends, solo or with a group. My pics are from 2017. Previously a Londoner, I now live in beautiful Dorset and spend many happy hours exploring inland and on the coast. I enjoy trips to visit friends, pub lunches, or pottering in the garden. I like to live at a pace where I can savour and enjoy the quiet moments, winter at the beach and summer in the woods. But I still love London for its museums and galleries, for its buzz and the excitement of the buildings .
I would like to travel again: that doesn't seem to have happened of late, so my french has all but died. For hobbies I do a little small scale investing and DIY.
I don't watch Bake Off, X Factor or Strictly, but you can, if you will let me watch 8 Out of 10 Cats and HIGNFY, and listen to jazz or classical music. I do enjoy any movie directed by Woody Allen. I read. My favourite author is Georges Simenon.
I think my friends would say that I am kind, honest, sensitive, reliable, and flexible. They might say I take life seriously and I am too self critical, that I have a dry sense of humour, but that I can laugh at myself.
About his ideal match
There is no single description, but my ideal match would be kind, genuine, affectionate and romantic. She would be honest and humble and proud of what she has achieved. She would want time to be who she wants to be.
You would enjoy being outdoors with all your senses open,seeing all that is around you, at home reading a good book, sharing a meaningful conversation over a meal cooked together, listening to some music, or planning the next... whatever together.
She would have a warm smile and a wry sense of humour.
