In His Own Words

About him

I can offer a warm and friendly relationship if the right chemistry exists. Married 51 years I hate the vacuum of living alone - no one to chat to, laugh with, discuss serious matters with, go on holiday with (or even out with) or cuddle. I am very much one half of a couple who likes simple (if sometimes expensive) things, sunshine, restaurants, company and just living. As Pooh said 'Its more fun with two'.

I am an engineer through and through, I started a high-tech business in 1971 which had its ups and downs but I would not have wished for anything different and loved it. It became successful and the products which I was very involved in designing were, in one sense, my toys. We had a world class niche market and I hated having to sell it in 2000 at 65 because a very good opportunity came along. Engineers get things done and that is me. I am not a very artistic person, and only have a small appreciation of fine art, music, classics and so on - my wife called me a heathen. I do see elegance in design but viewing some hundreds of Madonnas in a Florence museum left me cold. Otherwise I am an average sort of person, businessman, entrepreneur, technical, BMI 29 and use a stick some of the time. As my nom-de-plume suggests I love the beach life in nice places - France and the West Indies being two of them. I have a nice house and will be happy to exchange more photos after first contact.

Sorry to say that I won't pursue a profile which does not have at least one close up picture, one full length, a narrative and who is over 73. I'd love to hear from the right person.

About his ideal match

A stylish and intelligent lady who is also lonely having lost a partner and who wants to live life, hug and be glad of my company. Should like simple things, company, sunshine, beaches, restaurants, countryside and just living. Travel, holidays, home visits, restaurants and so on would be great. As I am an active Conservative a similar interest is important and a left leaning outlook would not work. If you have these aches too, please get in touch.
