In His Own Words

About him

I am very much a lover of nature, the landscapes, sunsets, nature, most animals and good family dogs. Love the smell of all sorts of lovely plants. People-wise? Those who give of themselves for the benefit of their community or nation. I love art, architecture, sculpture, beautiful gardens, good music and humour. I also appreciate the challenge and satisfaction of DIY, usually on a purely practical scale. I draw and paint. Have written quite a bit of poetry, serious and comical and the occasional tune. Have also written a few short children's stories, a touch of 'Pseudo Shakespear' and lately, have penned a couple of comedy sketches, which quite surprised me and made me chuckle. I would like to get some of my work published soon. Really enjoy the outdoors, be it walking, camping, canoeing, used to ski years ago and could try again. I keep fit through my way of life, but don't 'do' team sports or the gymn, but am happy to walk or cycle several miles at a time, or canoe up a river. This is life, let's contribute to it and be happy.
I'm interested in too many things to get bored. By the way, I do not like the misuse and adulteration of the English language. I'm constantly correcting the BBC, vocally, of course, I don't write in to them, I just moan!
I do enjoy cooking a decent meal. Am currently enjoying my own Christmas cake and actually iced this one, too; delicious!
Succinctly, my likes far outweigh my dislikes.
And I do enjoy singing; and writing prose and poetry. Let's compare notes. NOTES? MUSIC? (Sorry, I can't help the puns.)
I also have a reputation for my sense of humour, sometimes corny, but never unkind. I actually rewrote our local Pantomime some years ago to inject more humour. I have also played comedy on stage a few times. Ask me later.
I might be retired, but not idle. Enjoy relaxing and holidays, but there are still creative things that I want to do for our world.

About his ideal match

A lady who is a lady. Feminine, perhaps with a Tomboy side to her, not afraid to get her hands dirty sharing the gardening. You probably know more than I do. Enjoys a good joke, dancing and singing in the kitchen. Happy to dress up or dress down. Whatever we are sharing, we are sharing together as equals, as companions, being each other's friend, confidant and reason to enjoy this life. Likes to hold hands and be proud to be together and seen to be together. Teach me things; good things and funny things, perhaps also flippant things.
It is the subtlety and gentleness of a woman which wins a man's heart. Give me your smile and your support and together we can have the best of journeys. Starting now?
