In His Own Words
About him
Hello, I’m a retired, bright, optimistic and fit chap. My interests include travelling, cycling (UK and continental), walking, cooking, reading and art, which includes watercolours (painting and viewing), photography (black and white) and contemporary jazz. Gilles Peterson's eclectic choices on 6 Music are a favourite. I’m settled and self sufficient, I do drive a car and have lived on my own for a few years, so I’m well domesticated and independent.
I don’t have any tattoos or metalwork (including hips!) and I don’t engage with social media. My photos are mostly recent, and all within the last 2 years; I hope yours are too!
About his ideal match
Are you a bright, fit and healthy lady with a good sense of humour and adventure. A lady who might have similar interests and values but also different interests that you might have a passion for, or which might enhance a relationship.
A reasonably local connection is preferred perhaps within an hour’s drive / travelling distance. BTW, I don’t expect you to be a cyclist, but perhaps appreciate it is a passion of mine.
I’m not keen on dogs and no smokers please, unless you ignite with spontaneous combustion 😳 on reading my profile.
For someone I might be their Christmas cracker!
