In His Own Words
About him
I'm a very young 73-year old generous, creative, optimistic and caring man. Virtually retired from running my own business in the world of interiors, I’m now doing voluntary work in a London prison, a role that I love.
I run and swim to keep fit, enjoy expressive dance and yoga and, with no children of my own, am lucky to have a great relationship with the three adorable kids of my closest friends.
I love to travel and intend to see a lot more of this amazing world in the next few years. I love language and languages, words in general. I write the occasional poem, usually after an idea develops while I'm walking or running in the Hertfordshire countryside that starts at the end of my road.
I have an eclectic taste in the arts, and music in particular can move me deeply. I like to sing, especially in three or four part harmonies in natural voice choirs where it is more about heart and spirit than perfect performance. Warning: from these activities tears of sadness or joy can arise, sometimes with little distinction between the two.
For me self-awareness is an important quality, something that I try to foster as much as possible, but without taking myself too seriously. That really wouldn't do.
Equally at home in the city and the countryside I can be wowed by modern or classical architecture as well as The Himalayas or the Devonshire coast, though not in quite the same way.
I’m far more café than pub, more fond of cats than dogs, much more comfortable in jeans than trousers (do they still make those?). I have no interest in golf or TV sport. Though not a vegetarian, I do adorn most of what I cook with a smothering of brassicas and an array of roots. And fried onions (I know- but just occasionally).
I'm also relocatable, willing to travel to meet and potentially move for that sweet connection.
About his ideal match
I'm looking for someone to cherish and would love to spend the rest of my life with an intelligent, creative and tactile woman with self-esteem, a passion for life, an irreverent sense of humor and a penchant for adventure, laughter and platefuls of vegetables.
