In His Own Words
About him
A gentle blonde with his own teeth and miraculously, still quite a bit of hair. I look younger than my years, though I’m not sure that's a good thing.
Things I enjoy: driving out on a sunny day with the roof down and wearing a beanie hat, doesn't matter if it’s cold - there are heated seats; a pub lunch; spending time with my two adult sons who are my best friends; Performing at jam nights (I play Blues, Stones, Eagles, Clapton, Pink Floyd etc.); Painting in oils/acrylics when the mood strikes; photography, no room to show my work on here; I like Cornwall too and it’s best kept secrets. I make electric guitars and it’s a challenge to create the best tone but that’s my own secret.
I love architecture, National Trust, gardens but not gardening, train journeys and pondering the scenery wondering what was there millennia ago, the peace of an art gallery. For fitness, I can be found walking aimlessly along my local beach even in the rain but it’s not really about keeping fit, its more about making sure I’m still in working order.
Spent my career in the city designing computer networks for Merchant Banks. I have a qualification in Psychology which is just an interest - my grandad was mad, but to understand the psyche takes a bit more than a PhD or Masters.
I like to think I am fun to be with - slightly off-the-wall, can’t take life too seriously. I am kind, articulate, compassionate, considerate, empathetic and have a traditional sense of ‘old school’ when it comes to being a gentleman.
About his ideal match
I’d like to meet an emotionally intelligent lady with warmth, curiosity, and a sense of humour. Travel and adventures have their place but so do quieter and more simple pleasures.
An eccentric sparkle would be welcome. Whatever life still has to offer, I hope she’ll be up for some fun, good conversation, a little mischief, a glass of wine and sharing a cosy log fire - when I have logs.
