In His Own Words
About him
Former racing correspondent who is reliable, slim, fit and likes eating out...travel, reading, music (think Billie Holiday, John Denver, Maria Callas,Carly Simon,Elgar,Mahler),cinema,theatre..
I spend most of the winter in a very Spanish , old fishing town on the Costa Blanca and early summer in France....in recent years I have visited the south west area around St.Antonin Noble Val and was enchanted.
Cycling is still exhilarating on a treasured old Claud Butler, and I continue to go racing to meet former colleagues and friends.
I have had two long-term relationships .... each lasting more than a decade.
About his ideal match
I would like to meet someone that has a good measure of freedom to travel, particularly in France , and would consider spending winters in Spain.
A dog lover,even if they do not own one ( I don't), and is prepared to tolerate someone who loathes cigarette smoke!
