In His Own Words
About him
I'm supposed to be retired, but people still want me to work for them, and after 30 years as a self employed scientist I don't really know how to say no ! So I guess I'm still in demand...
I'm fascinated by the environment and history, love walking in the countryside, visiting nature reserves and historic sites.
I collect various things, mainly books, some antiques and pictures, I've hardly got any spare walls, maybe I should hang stuff on the ceilings.
I still very much enjoy life, but living alone I probably don't get out as much as I would with a companion.
About his ideal match
I'm looking for someone to complement my lifestyle, but this is difficult to describe as I'm not sure what I'm looking for !
I would like to share everything with a companion, but I don't want to monopolise anyone, or make them feel hemmed in, so if I wanted to do something and they didn't, that wouldn't be a problem.
