In His Own Words
About him
I’ve been an historian for as long as I can remember. Loving days out poking round old churches, stately homes & battlefields. And weekends away in old towns with historic sights as well as a bit of culture & fine dining. Travel is a passion - I’ve done five continents but keep coming back to good old Blighty. Also an historian obsessed by history working in publishing, TV & movies so long as they involve history. And I’m a historian - did I mention that?
But, seriously, I do step outside history and enjoy exploring new experiences. I'd be willing to give [almost] anything a try for the right lady.
About his ideal match
Looking for a partner in crime for adventurous days out, cuddly evenings in and hoping for a special spark to open the door for something more serious. Sense of humour essential, kindness is a virtue and love of travel a definite bonus. I'm looking for a caring lady who likes walks, cinema, theatre, cafe hopping and exploring cuisines.
