In His Own Words
About him
Since I retired, I have been writing, and am self publishing my first book. I write historical fiction and like to visit historic towns and houses - (national trust and English heritage) but a walk around the Baltic is on my bucket list. Like many writers, I have a large collection of books.
I enjoy learning languages and have attended Spanish classes for four years. I speak German and have schoolboy French. I would like to know other languages.
I am passionate about sustainability, Europe and ecology – I try to limit my carbon footprint so am not enthusiastic about flying long distances.
I don’t much like sports any more but I walk four miles every day. In Salisbury, there are rivers with swans and fish (not very big fish these days). When walking I love the magnificent old trees and am sometimes lucky enough to see a squirrel or two.
I love classical music, best played with an authentic sound – I like baroque, but almost anything up to Stockhausen will do nicely. I once heard of a pet crow who would always listen when Mozart or Brahms were on the radio, but when Britten started, he’d squawk and leave the room.
Clever creatures crows!
I’m also fond of squirrels, but I don’t know what music they like.
Ps. the pictures are all this year.
About his ideal match
For me, kindness, patience and a range of interests are important.
I am looking for someone to share ideas - history, current affairs, music, ecology and, of course, books!
I look forward to walks with stimulating conversation, and then quietly snuggle up at home.
Of course we will enjoy meals, concerts and theatre , and visiting historic places.
You may have played a musical instrument - I used to play guitar and am learning again
Be good if you were organised and If you knew about gardens. I'm happy to do the work but never get round to it.
If you enjoy shopping… do not expect me to come!
