In His Own Words
About him
Hi Everybody, . I’ve just turned 70,
I’m a Londoner born & bred.
I left school at 15 and went to work in the markets in the City of London
At aged 18 I joined The Grenadier Guards. I served for 5 years in The British Army
With the Courses and Knowledge I learnt in the Army & the Qualifications I gained upon leaving I started up my own Security Services & Investigations Company, looking after the Personal Security needs of many individuals, Primarily in the Music &TV Industries
This took me all over the Globe North America, The Middle East, Europe & parts of Africa over 28 year period right up until my retirement in 2020.
So travelling to far flung places is not really on my Life agenda, neither is climbing Hills & Mountains, or Walking Miles to see panoramic views.
"Doesn't Float my Boat" anymore
I've already led quite a full Life. Sorry to disappoint.
I'm really looking for a quiet homely, peaceful life with a Lady who has similar ambitions of Life Style.
This doesn't exclude participating in day or weekend trips around this glorious beautiful Country of ours with it's Parks, Stately Homes, Museums and other places of interest.
I have two Grown up Children & four Adorable Grand-Children based In Northampton. My Pride & Joy. I get to see them as regular as I can.
My passions are Music, from Jim Reeves to Bob Dylan, Dusty Springfield to Adele, The Rolling Stones to Kenny Rogers, History & Current Affairs. I love taking part in Quizzes.
Twice monthly I pursue another passion of mine, selling Antiques & Collectables at Fairs twice monthly. [@] It gets me out and I enjoy the social side of meeting all manner of people. I also like Car Booting
I Don't suffer fools too gladly, not interested in Wokery or PC and I'm not offended by "Hurty" words. I own a very good sense of humour.
About his ideal match
I never judge a book by it's cover, it's the content & story inside that matters.
For me it's the Person themselves, their Inner Soul that counts inclusive of their genuine warmth of a Loving beating sincere heart.
You can't beat that glowing experience of an unexplained synchronicity & alignment between two people. "Walking on the Moon" Effect
I’m searching for that one Very Special Lady with a mutual view to nurturing and growing firstly a Close Friendship, then hopefully progressing to a Reciprocated Love and lastly to an inseparable Special Bond of Life Companionship.
Ideally My Princess should be Loyal, Honest, Faithful, Plain Speaking, Down to Earth & Fun-loving & Fun to be with and around, someone who mutually wants share my Autumnal years with theirs. some one whom I can make Happy, Feel Wanted & Appreciated too. Someone I can adore
I'm really looking for a quiet homely, Snuggles & Cuddles Peaceful life with a Lady who has similar ambitions of That Life Style. I want to Emotionally & Romantically "Settle down" in my Autumnal years with the Right Quintessential Lady This Time.
I also want to belong, I've been alone far too long
I don't wish to cohabitate. I'd still like my independence as I'm sure She would want the same too
Seeing each other 2-3 times a week or at weekends, I'm more than accommodating to what's suitable to Her Preference and Comfortability
This Mutual adventure can start with a Pot of Tea or a Coffee in a mutually agreed daytime Public place of The Special Lady's choosing.
Can you please help me achieve this genuine objective?
I'm no George Clooney to look at, I know that, but I've got a Heart of Gold to give and I'm as Honest as the day is long, Loyal & Faithful as an "Old Hound Dog"
