In His Own Words
About him
I might be the most interesting person you will meet, in that I have many interests, and I can find an angle to interest me in most things. I still maintain a lifelong attachment to the great outdoors, with moorland and coast-path walking (which the South West has in abundance!) and cycling (road and trail), my top pastimes. I couple these activities with photography and nature watching, and am trying to develop the photography to capture the essence of beauty in figurative and abstract images. I also enjoy watching live sports, in particular my son playing rugby. I often go to (small) live music events and have an extensive jazz and blues record and CD collection, and an expanding classical folder too. On rainy days I will often be found at an art gallery, museum or coffee shop, taking in the sights and sounds.
About his ideal match
I'm looking for someone to laugh at my bad jokes and to make me laugh with their better ones!
Someone who won't mind occasionally perching on a pedestal.
Someone who might be prepared to make a bond that will go deep, and to the limits.
Someone with a twinkle in their eye, and a sparkle when they smile.
