In His Own Words

About him

I am loyal, sensible, a good companion and sensitive to the needs of others. I enjoy walking, cycling, keeping fit and traveling (although not at the moment!) I am a retired army officer (In uniform five times. I get bored easily) I still scrub up reasonably well.)I am now a semi retired military historian and battlefield guide, although I have done many other things, including journalism and working, briefly, for the FCO.
I was widowed seven years ago, losing a very special lady. It has not been an easy time but i now feel ready to move on. I am slightly surprised to be living where I do and on being part of a loving and supportive family. I am still fit, and intend to remain so. I have a great deal more living to do and hope to find a lady with a similar approach to life to share that time. Note: My photo is recent (August 2021). with a rather severe "lockdown" haircut. ( My children think it makes me look like an irritated tortoise. Ho hum

About his ideal match

A well grounded sensible lady with her own life, interests, and friends, but feeling the need to share life with a special "other". If you are well educated and have an interest in horses, the countryside and travel, do get in touch. I am by inclination a small "c"conservative, but that's hardly surprising given my background.

As to travel I would like to be able to renew my enjoyment of skiing and warm weather travel (But NOT lying on a beach please). From time to time having a small villa somewhere appeals.
