In His Own Words
About him
As you see from the photo of me up a ladder and cycling (both taken last summer) I'm extremely fit (BMI 21.5) with everything in full working order and in the elite 3% who still don't need any medications to get along.
I also scrub up pretty well, as you can see from the other photographs.
I’m happy with my new life as a reluctant singleton, but would love to find another reluctant singleton to share those magical moments, like watching a blood red sun set over Hengistbury Head or taking long walks or enjoying bike rides in our beautiful New Forest (particularly if there is the prospect of a delicious pub meal at the end of it).
I love cooking, which is perfect for you if - after a lifetime of cooking for the family - you want to put your feet up and be pampered with a glass if something while I make it happen in the kitchen.
Although I am a vegetarian I'm not a fanatic and quite happy to cook meat for my lady.
I also enjoy listening and dancing to a wide variety of music, from classical to reggae. But it's not much fun dancing alone.
Despite the heartbreak life throws at all of us, I always look for the bright side of every situation – and generally find it.
My favourite things include, delicious food, Champagne, flowers and holding the hand of a beautiful woman.
Could YOU be that beautiful woman?
About his ideal match
I hope to meet a new soul mate who shares my love of delicious food, dancing and loves being made a fuss of, holding hands and cuddling.
And, if you enjoy having affection shown to you in public, I won't be shy about making other men jealous (subject to your prior permission, of course!).
Our relationship can't be as long as the near 50 years I enjoyed with my late wife, but one crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name.
