In His Own Words
About him
I’m calm, dependable, truthful, annoyingly unshockable. I have an interesting sense of humour and I’m supportive and positive of others, I have tenacity and enjoy tactics and problem solving. I want to return to long distance cycling which I stopped after a midcab operation in ‘23. I have organised & cycled: Orkney to Silly Isles; All 47 English Cathedrals Cities; Canterbury to Santiago and back; around the North Sea - you get the picture….
My wife died in 2026 after a long and protracted illness, so I’m still forming ‘what to do next’ questions & exercises. We were together for over forty years.
I was a Royal Chorister during my school days and church music, choral, opera and classical music are part of my DNA. I dabbled in a number of sports in my younger days to County or higher, but now officiate or watch.
I’m a bit of a rebel and spent far too long in the Education sector, as an ‘advanced’ practitioner lecturing in a range of topics and apart from my academic qualifications, I hold over 34 NGBA’s that encompass such areas as Mountaineering, Hangliding and Life Saving.
I enjoy good foods and company that is both interesting and stretch what’s left of the little grey cells. I connect with animals, nature & gardening, but I have a wide and eclectic range of other interests. I am most at home in shorts and a T-shirt, but on occasion can scrub up reasonably well. I should like to connect with the right person, share and evolve.
Outlook on Life: Life is something special as is our planet.
Things I yet want to experience include: swimming with Orca and getting back on the bike, but all are secondary to companionship in its spectrum of colours & experiences.
About his ideal match
Someone who is essentially kind and considerate and has hidden depths and personality to explore. Someone who has a good sense of humour; Who is Happy to try and share new experiences, but that is a two-way street and I’m more than happy to learn/experience. I would love to be introduced to new experiences, for example, I can’t dance. They probably enjoy some form of physical activity, not necessarily a sport; enjoy the outdoors/countryside as well as a good meal and good company. You possibly enjoy exploration and might be game for unplanned adventure. A smoker sadly, could be a deal breaker.
