In His Own Words
About him
I am easy going, active, reasonably fit and enjoy a good laugh.
My interests include modern jive dancing (Ceroc etc.), tennis (playing several times a week) and other racquet sports, cycling, walking, reading novels, gardening, watching movies and good quality TV dramas. I go to the gym occasionally. I play the guitar and bass (trying to improve both), and perform occasionally, but I wish I could sing more confidently.
I enjoy going to the theatre (especially musicals and comedy) and live music concerts/gigs.
Regarding holidays, I like various types : activity/water sports, cruises and would like to visit countries such as Croatia, Malta, Madeira, Italy, Spain and further afield. I am restricted by the lack of a travelling companion to help me enjoy such holidays.
I have three children who have 'flown the nest'.
I was an IT Business Analyst, but have now retired (April 2019).
Oldest photos are from 2015 and several are from January 2018 . Main profile photo is from May 2023 and beach photo in blue tee-shirt is from Jan 2023 (in Australia) - friends say that I look much younger than my actual age.
