In His Own Words
About him
My golden retriever (NB hairs) and I have been caring for my wife with Alzheimers at home since beginning of lockdown until, for her and my safety, she had to go into dementia care home. I have weekly updates but do not visit for my sake as well as hers (until she takes to her bed for the last time). I am now beginning to enjoy a bit of freedom again - when not looking after 2,4 and 5 year old grandchildren. I am told I look 65 not 75 (and now feel 65 as well - its only a number). I am a gentle introvert who enjoys cooking, travel, daughters and grandchildren, playing with words, singing, walking the dog on the beach (not necessarily in that order!). I used to sing in classical choirs and enjoy classical concerts (photo of me at Luzern Music Festival in August 25). I am happy in my own company (with TV detective dramas and Richard Osmand,) but would welcome daytrip/ travel companion. I enjoy a glass of red wine and pub lunches but not on my own. I am a practising Anglican and seek to live to Christian principles but very liberal and open to other ways of being spiritual - which I would also like to share. I don't know whether I am ready for this, but am being encouraged to take a first step by doing this! Thanks for reading this (and looking!)
About his ideal match
I am looking for a pub lunch or travel companion for classical concerts, day trips, holidays, trips within Europe - no strings and nothing else understanding that my wife of 41 years has dementia and in a care home. The right person will need to cope with Golden Retriever hairs! An extrovert would bring me out of my shell, whilst an introvert would hopefully be comfortable in my company without pressure.
