In His Own Words

About him

In May 2020, Covid-forced return after another eight months in NZ, this time in my Kiwi camper-van. Another six months in my camper around the north island of NZ completed in April 2023, only because my van was stolen and never recovered. I did receive the insurance pay-out though.
I’ve led a nomadic lifestyle, moving every 2/3 years for career promotion or challenge, whilst stumbling through my first career, almost 40 years in NHS as a psychiatric nurse, I did reach Director of Nursing before specialising in developing mental-health services around the country, latterly in Forensic Psychiatry.
Retired from NHS, emigrated to NZ for 7/8 years where I developed and operated a 5 star luxury tourist lodge. Tried retirement again when I came back to UK, but had to return to work in a different role to finance a property project, now completed and Retirement Mk III commenced.
Exiled Londoner with two adult children who’ve produced five grandchildren between them, currently aged 9 to 30,I recently returned to a small market-town in South Oxon where I wasted my adolescence, have brothers and their offspring close by.
I enjoy organising and watching live music, gigs, concerts and festivals. Theatre, cinema and film are popular too (my son is a Grammy nominated director). Enjoy all aspects of food and I love to cook. Love to eat out also but it’s no fun dining alone! When not in lockdown, I’m happy travelling to visit art galleries, museums and other cultural venues.
A seasoned traveller looking to do so much more. Ireland, Italy, France and Eastern Europe currently calling me. Whilst I don’t mind travelling alone, I’d love a travelling companion. The personal information included in my profile is honest, and I can’t stop time, so I really am 73 now!
My politics remain left-leaning, socialist with humanist tendencies. Probably incompatible with readers of the Daily Mail, Express or Telegraph; likewise if you support Brexit or the current Tory government.

About his ideal match

You’ll be interesting and appealing, and if you have a rebellious streak, perhaps a Bohemian outlook, and are not averse to spontaneity, then these are definite plus-points!

I understand that many of the women on here include as their pastimes; golf, sailing, equestrian activities, tennis and ski-ing. As for me, don’t like golf - seems a waste of a good walk, did some sailing when younger, spent half-a-day in Australia shovelling horse-pooh from my cousin’s pony which put me off horses, gave up tennis early when my thunder-serve hit my boss and doubles partner in the back of his head, and a younger life playing rugby, football, cricket and judo along with squash, badminton and table-tennis, all at reasonable standards, have left me with knees that would not stand the rigours of even the nursery slopes - I don’t rule out the sitting in the bar whilst you glide down the mountain though!

I’ve spent life in lockdown putting in some miles both on my bike and taking long walks, happy to continue these activities as I crave exercise, and play “walking” football and table tennis regularly. Could be enticed to give yoga a try, I have done some Tai Chi too.

It may be a cliche, but I really can’t believe my birth certificate. I know I’ve been on this planet a long time, but I’m nowhere near ready to settle into a quiet retirement, that’s not how our generation roll!

So if you possess a sense of adventure, a willingness to visit unknown destinations and an ability to keep up and you like something about my profile, I’d be glad to hear from you.
