In His Own Words
About him
I think I'm calm and easy going, I try to be polite and helpful but when I don't know what to say, I tend not to say not much, which I know I need to work on!
I generally love being outdoors and usually walking up or down a hill, preferably somewhere with an outstanding view. I would love to share this activity with a partner. I also enjoy road cycling but it's less important so don't worry if you don't.
Indoors I particularly enjoy reading, a good mix of fiction and non-fiction, and puzzle-solving (think sudokus or crosswords rather than the meaning of life).
I have travelled widely, much of it in order to take part in long distance walks in places such as Nepal, Peru, Iceland, and New Zealand. I have also lived and worked abroad. I still enjoy travel but now I am happy to do it at a slower pace and enjoy the sights.
I love the idea of eating something I've grown myself, but this is a relatively new interest and I currently don't have a large garden.
I like to see animals in the wild and don't really want a pet. I do not enjoy being around dogs so if you have one or want one, we probably wouldn't make a good match.
I want to make the most of my life and for this reason I do care about my health. I eat with thought and rarely have ready meals. I'm not a wonderful cook but I try. I really do believe that having a partner to share one's life with is the best way to live and I look forward to perhaps sharing mine with you.
I do watch TV in its many different forms but it's never the most important thing. My preferred programme categories include humour (think 'Have I Got News For You' rather than slap stick), thrillers and documentaries.
All my photos were taken in 2024.
About his ideal match
My ideal match should share some of my likes but should also have some of her own which are different to mine. I have always loved to find out about new things that I have not experienced before. The world is an endlessly fascinating place and I look forward to to you showing me aspects of it that I have not thought about before. I would particularly love to share travel with you, whether that's a day walk near home or a holiday to the other side of the world
