In His Own Words
About him
Sociable and enjoy small gatherigs, but not parties. gardening, when able, and clock repairing.
I entertain friends at home, dinner parties.
Have workshop for all sorts of things. Used to enjoy travel, but not by myself. Enjoy history, particularly of the North .
Enjoy music I was brought up with, Jazz, Opera, classical and popular, country stuff etc.
Outlook Glass a bit empty, then you get nice surprises.
Spend too much time reading the Telegraph!
Used to have cats, but animals are tying if you want to go away.
About his ideal match
One of my drawbacks is that I have diabetes, so I am no longer (!) God's gift to the ladies. However there are lots of forms of love and I look for a warm and loving person with whom I can bond and enjoy life.
I lost my wife of 50 years 2 1.2 years ago, but we travelled a lot in Europe in those years. Both being able to drive helps.
Someone who likes this would be good.
