In His Own Words

About him

What do my friends say about me? I believe that I am good company, that we must enjoy ourselves while we can, try to be considerate and imaginative, tactile, affectionate and patient. I enjoy opera and ballet - used to go to Covent Garden as often as I could but not so much now that I am in Taunton. All I ask of opera is boy meets girl, someone dies, seat near the bar and someone with nice knees to sit in the dark with. Visiting art galleries. I enjoy listening to classical music while gazing at the ceiling, either before or after, and sometimes during, a sofa scamper, and lingering at the table with friends.
I used to referee football, so I guess I am the type to take an alternative view from the rest of the herd. Stood in three general elections (didn't get in), so I'm definitely a wrong 'un.
I grew up in the centre of London, went to a wonderful grammar school, Westminster City, and left in 1959 to begin the great adventure, which took me around the world.
I have lived and worked in Central Africa and have travelled in Australia, South and Central Africa, North America and most of Europe. I went to India some years ago with my son. I have done all that and now would like to visit the interesting places that I have thundered past before, like Lille and Lyons, though Australia and India are always calling me back.
The horsey photos were taken in October 2015, in Lexington, Kentucky. I went to the States for five weeks to enjoy long train rides - as you do. Another is me dancing with my daughter at her wedding. I chose 'Thank you for the Days' by the Kinks to dance with her. The right one for me, And you?
I have now moved to Taunton, to be near my children, at their prompting, not mine. Like everyone else in a single situation I would welcome a congenial travelling companion, as well as someone local to meet for coffee, lunch or afternoon tea, to commiserate with each other that Paul Newman and Audrey Hepburn are no linger available.

About his ideal match

I am looking for a woman who will provoke me with her mind and intrigue me with her smile. You will be uniquely you and you will introduce me to new ideas and make me say Wow! I want my heart to leap whenever I see you. More than that I cannot say because you will be . . . . . simply you.
Perhaps a woman whose body says I've had my last G & T for a while, whose face says angels do exist, and whose eyes could make me dig my own grave and lick the shovel clean. So I guess she'd have to be the kind of woman who would make a bishop kick holes in a stained glass window, or a nun with a past . . . . . .
Well, if you haven't smiled then perhaps I'm not the one for you . . . . . .
OK, I'll confess that I pinched quite a lot of the above from Raymond Chandler. Also, if there's a lady with a snooker table, I'd like to meet her.
