In His Own Words

About him

Friends would describe me as caring, sensitive, creative, intelligent, cultured, openly affectionate, a good listener, able to admit when I’m feeling vulnerable but importantly, equally strong and independent as well. I am mature and reliable and complete things when I say I’m going to do something. And a “people person”, a lover of foreign lands and “outdoorsy”: apparently I do both the “Arty stuff” and the “active stuff” rather well! I recently went on a blind date to ‘get myself out there’!

I also enjoy art and design, walks on the hills and by the sea, cooking, reading books, films, theatre, gallery’s and museum visits, photography and good food and wine, sometimes with friends, restaurants, coffee shops and keeping active and fit, cycling, but I’m not fanatically about fitness!

I spend my time between my lodgings in South London where I am a Head of Department in scenic Art and Design and then down in Sussex, freelance designing (performance, museums and exhibitions, gardening design and maintenance work. I once designed a set for Vanessa Redgrave at the Riverside Studios and have won awards for other designs. And I’ve just brought a house in Hastings and gradually renovating it as well.

I’m looking for a long term relationship. I believe in mutual respect, trust and love with a woman and the maturity of being able to relax with each other. Good, intelligent conversation with each other, chemistry of course, as well as the ubiquitous cuddling on the sofa with the large glass of red!

It would be lovely to be part of a family again, whether that’s together or that you have children I could help to raise and support, or a combination of both, of course! My daughters are 21 now and independent. Two are at University in York, one still at home with mum in Darlington.

If you are looking for a genuine relationship, then it would be great to hear from you

About his ideal match

The same really, someone who will reflect the qualities I believe in, being a decent human being primarily , and caring, sensitive, funny, creative, intelligent, cultured, relaxed and a humane, a “people person” and sometimes “outdoorsy”, as well as feminine, attractive and curling up on the sofa together, with a good glass of red!
Pretence, selfishness and conservative attitudes are a deal breaker for me as is wanting to be ‘one up’ on others, which is not a priority for me!
Humanity, reflection in each other’s values, and a love of nature are.
