In His Own Words

About him

I feel desperately alone... well I guess many are like that currently and so would love a friendly contact here in Torquay..
[Removed]

Would love some female company. Initially, text contact would be helpful and a first step to help me re-engage with "a lost social world".

I like local history, visiting interesting sites ....in the past have enjoyed several cruises as I love being on the water and visiting new destinations. I enjoy being on the local speakers' circuit giving illustrated talks around the Westcountry. I used to dance years ago ... before Lockdown v.1.0 was trying ballroom dancing lessons again plus picking up sequence dances ..something I have not done before. I rather think I would make more progress with a regular partner!!! Fat chance at the moment. So have been learning the piano online.

Love Classic FM, theatre, jazz, opera .... not wildly into "pop".

I normally would enjoy meals out and pub lunches and would enjoy working in tandem for a lovely meal at home ...with a nice wine with the meal. Have attended 3 local cookery one-day courses at a prestigious cookery school just south of the moor

I am a retired FE College lecturer..... had a textbook published decades ago .... and still like creating booklets and visual presentations.

In the past I wrote:
Feeling very apprehensive about online dating. Needing to get my head around how it works.... before going too far. Don't want to make a mistake. Some sets of photos of ladies are confusing as some sets of photos seem to show different ladies! Others seem too far away to travel to meet easily.... so keen to link-up with someone reasonably local, so, for example, Bath seems a long way!!!!!!!!! Unless it was for a very "Gentleheart"!.

PS Sorry about the photos ... I am not very photogenic and not used to having my photo was taken, especially selfies!!... I take photos of lots of people and views etc but don't go in for taking my on own photos! XXX

About his ideal match

Friendship!
I would love to meet someone who loved walking (trolling) , [tennis - currently off the agenda as I have an injury] or perhaps days out "exploring" the countryside, NT properties etc. Enjoyed several cruises a while ago - so would like to meet some who also liked cruising!!. A PARTNER FOR DANCING would be nice!

Ideally, my ideal match should have some interest in local history, but far from essential. My interest in local history stems from generations of the family having lived in the region for many decades. I live just 3 miles from Shaldon.
