In His Own Words
About him
I am a relaxed individual with a successful career in Engineering (still working) who is not driven by image or labels but values good conversation and humour. I am looking to reinvent myself post the loss of my wife in 2023 but do not carry any emotional baggage on a personal or other basis just two great adult daughters along with dogs. I do a lot of walking and looking to restart my younger days passion of sailing, having now purchased a 30 foot sailing boat with 6 berths, but being an engineer a minor project. I have an interest in multiple subjects ranging from sport, gardening, nature and history as well as continuing to travel, when possible. I have been lucky to travel to several locations mainly during my time in the RN.
I also undertake DIY projects and enjoy challenges and converting ideas into reality.. I also have property in SW France with a vague plan to retire there in a few years
About his ideal match
Ideally an individual who has a broad conversation and a sense of humour who is well grounded and enjoys travelling and having fun. But at the same time is able to enjoy an evening meal, social drink or the theatre (other types of shows also included such as comedy). I enjoy being able to share my thoughts and being with somebody who encourages better things for me such as fitness or career for example or to try something new, which I would love to be part of and reciprocate when appropriate. The ideal person would be loving but independant and be confident to speak their mind when appropriate but accepting challenges and obstacles as they might occur. Should the right person step into my life I can promise commitment, loyalty as well as travel and if interested a life on the ocean wave
