In His Own Words

About him

I am an ex-Master at a busy boy's school in the north west of England near the Lake District. Now moved back to West Cumbria, sorting out house and garden. I continue to instruct cadets as CCF RN Officer (sail & power) on some national courses and coach a University rowing club on a voluntary basis.

I am enjoying cycling around the local valleys and hills of the Lake District and hope to get back into my sculling boat. I used race dinghies and cruise the Western Isles each year. It would be nice to find someone who likes outdoor activities on land or water to share experiences with but it is not essential. I'm happy going for a walk through a wood or along a beach and appreciate wildlife and nature. I take an interest in most things and enjoy a meal, a cultural visit and can do a bit of salsa! I have an appreciation of culture,crafts, art,and an eclectic taste in music. I can get on with people of all walks of life and am comfortable in rowing kit, or DIY/gardening overalls as well as casual clothes or jacket and tie or Naval uniform. I'm equally at home in the town or country, in a pub or at a dinner party but need to be not too far away from the sea or hills.

I try to aspire to Rudyard Kipling's poem "If" but probably fall short. I'm a romantic at heart (not only international rugby anthems can bring a tear to my eye!), and sensitive enough to appreciate detail and surroundings. If you would like to know more, send me a message.

About his ideal match

I am essentially looking for a girl with a warm heart and a nice smile. It would help if they were intelligent and mutually supportive. If they have their own talent, athletic or artistic,and can cook and make a good cake, that's a bonus! I find an interest in most things, even if it is DIY or gardening.

It would be nice to have someone to think about, fall in love with and spend the time of day with. I am looking for someone who wants a relationship, marriage and a family. I would be prepared to relocate for that. Preferably, attractive and healthy, you definately need a current photo available.

I once saw an advert on TV where a sailor's woman turned out in a wet and windy night to guide her partner and his boat safely into port using the car headlights as navigation. I don't court danger but I am looking for someone who, in a similar way, will be share the good times and rough timesand be there when 'the chips are down' and who is trustworthy, has a strong intelligent head and a warm heart.
