In His Own Words
About him
Sadly widowed in 2022, I’m now looking to start a new life and hoping to find someone on my wavelength – left-wing, with a sense of humour - to share it with. I like travelling, cinema, theatre and live music. Before retiring I was a school history and politics teacher. Tories, please swipe left!
About his ideal match
Someone who is fun, honest, socially and politically aware, attractive and young-at-heart. Not a lot to ask. Not a Tory!
