In His Own Words
About him
I think you’d like me if you met me, but I’m much more interested in you than me.
Are you kind, loving, artistic? Someone wants to share a life and loves life?
If so, then we may be ready to share a step forward on life’s highways and byways and start an adventure together.
I’m a published author in the field of natural history and a still evolving ceramicist; clay is a very forgiving substance!
I had the chance to take an early exit from Marketing and I returned to my roots ( literally, I’m a botanist ) as one of the Directors of a small botanical garden. I was a biology teacher too.
I'm a naturally happy person looking for a special soul to share life's wonders and pleasures.
I love art from Botticelli to Van Gogh, Banksy & Hopper and the watercolours of Macintosh.
I'm trying to copy the Ashmolean Lion in terracotta.
Music from Metheny to Mozart, Pink Floyd to Purcell, Allegri to Concert for George.
I play guitar, but sub-sub-Eric. Now learning the ukulele for happy fun.
I love to walk and photograph my world; the Cornish coast on days bright with cornflower blue skies, cumulus-ice-cream coned clouds and a cool breeze. On one such perfect day there will be a crisp clean cafe during the walk with a blue gingham tablecloth and white china serving perfect copper Assam tea, saffron scented buttery scones with rich red, acid-sweet raspberry jam; Cornish cream; can you taste it?
I've cycled the Camino from Burgos to Santiago and, later, from home to St Davids; both rewarding & life changing, like a loving Soulmate!
I look for equilibrium in life and rate mindfulness.
I love language; The pears fatten like little buddhas; Plath.
I love to see the under-dog win & hope to see a greener world
Love and rate Steinbeck, Alan Bennett, T.S.Eliot, Macfarlane, Joyce (my ancestral DNA is showing), Laurie Lee, Dylan Thomas, amusing Alan Coren.
Films with something interesting to say: American Beauty, Jean de Florette: humour, Billy Connolly, Andy Hamilton & R 4.
Love my daughters, grand-children, St Ives, Sylvie Guillem.
About his ideal match
Finding love of any description is precious, but it isn’t prescriptive.
A woman with a kind, happy, loving nature and who is also artistic and nature loving would be a great start.
