In His Own Words
About him
I am a widower , following more than 30 years of a happy
and loving marriage. I have two grown up children and three
grandchildren. I used enjoy motor racing, sailing ,flying etc etc but now I only watch. Can still enjoy traditional
jazz, good food, good wine, good conversation. I really would like to
have fun and friendship, hold hands, hug, love again: feel good. I
like to feel special and needed and am waiting to bring romance and
laughter into the right person's life.
I have a house in the north of Portugal, 15 miles from the sea , looking over the Lima valley, fantastic views!. I am alone and would like to share my life,
I am happy in my skin but would like to find a lady with buzz, who likes the countryside food,wine the sun, and gentle peace, In my time I did all the things listed here as sports,but now I am watching rather than doing . Now I have a quieter life So that is who I am, if it appeals to you there is more . I would love to share my life, my home, and spend time in both your sphere and mine. I now spend much of my time in Portugal because I like the sun and I have no " special' person to see in England. For the right person everything is negotiable, perhaps we could spend time together in both countries I really like interesting food and like cooking. I have about 3 acres including 500 vines so I love gardening,not manicured,sort of just under control. I may be 72 but I have just mixed and laid half a ton of concrete (it nearly killed me ),I like "doing things" So there you are tough? vulnerable? Yep Just sold uk house so am in Portugal a lot but would be delighted to spend time in England AND Portugal
All of this was written five years ago as a good friend reminded me. Now I am 78 and can scarcely lift a shovel,even if I could remember where I had left it. So, good night ladies and many thanks for your kindness. Alan
