In His Own Words
About him
I like to think I'm an intelligent, thoughtful, good listener with wide interests and a good sense of humour. I enjoy a laugh about the absurdities of life! My children tell me I'm a loyal and loving family man and I enjoy spending time with them and grandchildren. I am a retired university administrator, having worked in London, Hong Kong, Birmingham and finally Oxford. Still reasonably fit and active (eg normally gym once a week, skier until a couple of years ago). Enjoy things like theatre, travel (esp France, Italy), and dining out or at home (though not much of a cook myself) - but these are so much more fun when shared with someone.
I don't enjoy writing this self-advertisement, but do want to meet someone with similar values and interests.
