In His Own Words

About him

I'm lively and enthusiastic about life in general, and my interests are quite wide and varied, but I particularly enjoy live music of all varieties - rock, jazz, classical and opera - and films, cooking, crosswords and sport (watching live and doing where possible) - my major hobby is competitive bridge, but I'm not especially looking for a bridge player.
I was a software developer and previously a teacher - I almost retired, but I am now working part-time from home again for the foreseeable future.
I'm always keen to try new things and visit new places - as well as sunny destinations, I’ve always had the intention to visit Berlin and the Baltic states, although that plan doesn't look too promising at the moment!
My ideal relaxation is a long lunch with good company in a small rural French restaurant with a carafe of the local wine.

About his ideal match

I'm looking for a cheerful, intelligent and considerate woman who takes care with her appearance and enjoys the warmth of physical intimacy - an enthusiastic companion at concerts and dinners in nice restaurants - and someone prepared to sample my cooking and help me consume my wine collection would also be good.
Hopefully you are also searching for good chemistry, because I've got an A-level and have done some postgraduate research in that subject!
Someone who's good at changing duvet covers would also be great - there must be an easy way!
