In His Own Words
About him
Hope triumphs over experience - I've been told that should be my motto. In my mind I'm closer to puberty than pension with an easy life following early retirement. Happy and healthy - maybe it's the wise bit that's lacking(?) I live in deepest rural Shropshire with plenty of superb walking country all around. I love my holidays having recently come back from Algeria. There's always a wishlist which never seems to get shorter: it's a big wide wonderful world out there and I'm trying to visit as many countries as I can. Cruising maybe - but not until I'm ninety (unless it's on a canal). I stay occupied back home with property maintenance, tinkering with cars, listening to blues music, gardening, going to live music events and, too rarely, trying to learn the saxophone properly. Mates and acquaintances are fine, but someone special to share life with would be even finer.
About his ideal match
I don't really want to be prescriptive so how about this - drop-dead gorgeous, willing to laugh at my jokes, incapable of keeping her hands off me and fabulously wealthy? I may need to review that! OK then - loves the outdoors, walking, travelling and the blues? Or at least can tolerate the blues.
