In His Own Words
About him
I have been widowed for five years after a long and happy marriage .
I have not given up on life .I possess a good sense of humour , have an open mind , am easy going , compasionate , loving, affectionate , honest and straight forward . I am looking for a soul mate with whom I can share a love of life and all the experiences which can only be savoured as a couple .
Highly competent on the domestic front ,washing , ironing ,cleaning , cooking and sewing present no problems .
I have five beautiful grandchildren , three in Canada .
I like spending time with family and friends or a night in with a bottle of wine . I particularly enjoy stimulating conversations .
I like being involved with groups and working with people ie Local Arts Festival. I help organise the programme of talks and outings for the local Natural History Club , act as a Recorder for the Talking News Paper for the Blind , I am an active member of the local U3A ,I take a French lesson one afternoon a week ,sing in the choir and am part of a walking group .
I enjoy outings to historic houses and gardens , visiting interesting cities for long weekends , Art Exhibitions , walking - particularly by the sea and in the beautiful Peak District, and gardening .
I have been fortunate to have travelled reasonably widely , but there are many interesting places I still wish to visit .
I experience a sense of contentment and well being working and living in the countryside and I am privileged to work in some scenicly beautiful situations and engage with the most interesting clients .
After many years in teaching I have transferred my skills to training people of all ages in the Heritage Crafts of Dry Stone Walling and Hedgelaying , as well as running my own business in these activities .I have a wide circle of friends .
But I am looking for a lady who is feminine , loyal ,can love and be loved ,is fun to be with and can laugh at the vagaries life throws up .
