In His Own Words
About him
I am a widower but living on my own is not how I want to be.
I am house-trained, I enjoy laughing-with people not at them- and I'd like to think I am tolerant. I like keeping both body and mind active. I enjoy cycling locally (no lycra), a country or coastal walk and I have just started Pilates. I enjoy live theatre (particularly stand up comedy), read (nothing too improving) and the soundtrack of my life is a mixture of Radio 4, 6 music, Ken Bruce and an eclectic playlist.
I'm lucky enough to be able to spend a lot of time at the coast and I enjoy spending time on the water in a variety of craft. I keep a small reminder of my past business life as I am on the Board of two non-profit organisations.
People’s values are important to me and I would describe myself as a liberal, small l. I would like to share my life with a partner and for me to share hers.

About his ideal match
You will have eyes which show the personality behind them. We will have chemistry, we will talk about most things and may even agree on some of them! You are open-minded but opinionated . I'm hoping to share many things with you whether its adventures (home or away), the settee in front of the fire and TV or even a companionable silence.
