In His Own Words
About him
My life story shows no signs of becoming simpler, so if anyone fancies adding to the complexity, I'm open to offers.
Originally from Durham (and at the moment down there regularly), I've lived in and around Edinburgh for nearly 40 years. Currently I'm leading a semi retired, semi working existence in an apparently idyllic, rustic, rural retreat (but close enough to city culture) shared alternate weeks with my fifteen year old daughter (told you it was complicated). I was going to add ramshackle to the r's above, but then remembered the neatly organised tools, cd's and home made preserves in the pantry. An extended r is renovation in progress, so those allergic to diy or extreme gardening have been warned.
And at the risk of sounding like the shipping forecast, I'm reserved to start, becoming tactile and passionate later.
Facial hair is optional, by the way; on me, that is. Just to make sure, I do like, nay, need, to see a photo. (So if you have them hidden, remember to send me an invitation.)
About his ideal match
Bright, sexy, understanding and calm would be a good start, along with, to some extent, being interested in fifteen year olds and good at punctuation.
