In His Own Words
About him
I ran an international conservation organisation with diplomatic status until about five years ago and after that did various reviews around the world. I received an OBE for international conservation work. I am a scientist by training, PhD, originally from Bristol (though I have worked in California and Yorkshire and London) now living in the capital city of Edinburgh. But I have family in London and I am frequently there, plus a house in the south of France. I am still active in conservation.
The main photo is recent, (October) I am recently widowed. My wife had suffered from ill health for years so I learnt to cook etc. I like to socialise, walk, make bread, eat out, go to the theatre and the cinema and to travel. I believe that laughter is essential in life.I can't believe what it says on my birth certificate as I am very active and healthy.I am very fond of Jazz and of visiting France. I have recently published a book. It should make you laugh! I am doing a Fringe Show too
About his ideal match
An attractive slim woman with a sense of the ridiculous, we would laugh at the world and enjoy fun together. A lady with an enquiring mind, who likes good food but nothing extreme, wine too. Someone who enjoys conversation about real things, who perhaps might like to go out, or stay in, and maybe travel with me. Why not join me when I go to France sometimes. A lady with a sense of adventure perhaps. Someone warm, curious and feminine.
