In His Own Words
About him
Outwardly confident, inwardly shy! Good talker, good listener. Honesty in a relationship is vital. Music nourishes my soul. Drink most days, but teach several classes on wine appreciation, so have to keep practicing. Enjoy sharing cooking with another. I always like to add a touch of love to the other spices, herbs, etc. Bit passionate about rugby, had a season ticket for Northampton Saints for 40 years. Have family in Germany and New Zealand so do like to travel. Currently enjoying my own company in Tenerife, so plenty of sunshine and peace and quiet. Find humour in most situations and enjoy making others laugh. For some people it might be their day’s highlight, so many others have a hard life. Ankle problems mean that walking miles is not pleasant, so rambling not on my to do list.
About his ideal match
Probably a bit cautious, it takes time to build a relationship. Someone who prefers a dinner for two, rather than a cocktail party. Someone who enjoys a sunset, I’m not a sunrise person.
Thoughtful, kind, caring, the usual perfect qualities. Someone who appreciates quietness as much as noise. Someone who’s not bothered by silence. Sharing music, food, wine would be fun. Learning from someone new is exciting, so new opportunities. I can’t think of a deal breaker because either the chemistry works or it doesn’t!
