In His Own Words
About him
Yes the 'Rosie with Cider' ref does have a many meanings but I like the idea of walking the beautiful Slad valley in the Cotswolds with you and ending up at Laurie Lee's favourite pub which is also one of mine. Your name may not be Rosie and you may prefer wine but you get the idea and reversing the book title so appeals.
I'm a designer, working from home but virtually retired after many years in the TV, Film & advertising industry and passionate about living spaces - loved renovating my 400 yr old cottage and garden in Gloucestershire.
Quick list of likes and loves: Walking the hills or mountains - rently did a stroll around the Himalayas. Greek Islands, hot dry sunshine, travel, Baroque to rock music (and much else besides including a bit of opera), art history, architecture, warm seas, cold snowy mountains, proper cold winters and especially good company over dinner.
Perfectly happy in a DJ or jeans, staying fit and living healthily is a given. It seems my biological age is 54 and I do have huge amounts of energy which serves me well on the squash and padel court.
Also perfectly happy in the kitchen - good food is essential and it is after all a creative process - and I get a kick out of filling my pockets full of wild garlic on those walks.
Widely travelled - I like to do it in style but that might mean a richety old country bus in Turkey and a simple room but with stunning views. There is so much out there to enjoy - I'm a bit of an eclectic and enjoy most experiences in life.
However, that doesn't mean I expect a partner to do the same - I can do relaxed, quiet and cosy.
About his ideal match
Ideally you enjoy:
Breakfast in bed seved by me with lots of warm, tactile attention and a generous amout of spirit on the side.
A good walk in the summer sunshine followed by some cool fizz on the terrace - Spanacopitta and Kalamata Olives are sheer joy for me so if you love Greek (or Turkish) food then all the more perfect.
Enjoing a cold wintry walk (in snow if we're lucky) is an even bigger plus followed by a glass of something rich as you laze on the sofa infront of a warm fire in the ingklenook waiting for something else warming in the oven.
Yes, all served by me of course!
If you love the Greek Islands, brilliant!
If you love wandering around the beautiful architecture of European cities then even better.
If you enjoy a generous spirit, perfect!!
Message me! We can discover the rest together!
