In His Own Words
About him
I’ve had a fruitful, interesting, varied life.
I only have to see something to go off on a tangent!
Still have passionate interests in arts and nature.
Looking for a partner with similar - but not necessarily the same, interests to share.
My interests are wide, Painting, Sculpture, Ceramics, making and mending and restoring anything, photography, gardening, the outdoors, ornithology, entomology, design, architecture, Africa,
Europe....Opera, music in general.
My friends say when all goes pear-shaped they want to move in with me - if they did they'd be put to work to keep the ship afloat!
I dislike laziness and bigotry - I appreciate effort and interest in life around us.
Although not a spring chicken I keep myself in good shape and aim to continue to do so.
About his ideal match
Good conversationalist, interested in the arts.
A gardener. Loves cooking and eating.
Warm and Tactile, a country and wildlife lover.
Must like my dog! (He's an English Springer Spaniel named Brexit! - don't laugh!)
I appreciate someone who takes care and pride in their appearance, not flashy, but comfortable and well cared-for in their own skin.
