In His Own Words
About him
Intelligent, mid 60s guy with eclectic tastes. Friendly, generally easy going, with a fairly upbeat attitude and a sharp sense of humour (on the dry side). Enjoys walking and exploring the natural world. Tall and in fairly decent shape.
Well travelled, especially off the beaten track. Remain happy to be under canvas for the closeness to nature or to enjoy modestly luxurious surroundings. Not so well read - but surprisingly literate. Other interests would include gardening, music, photography (I'm told I have a good eye), sports (watching rather than playing these days - that iffy knee!) and conversation. My National Trust card isn't used enough.
Some recentish events have included Hampton Court Flower Festival, Diamond League Athletics, assorted gigs (The Dead South, Midge Ure, Seth Lakeman), watching The Critic, Eastbourne tennis, and walking much of the Cotswold Way. Then there's always reading the weekend paper while supping a decent coffee.
Something of a gentleman. Certainly verging on, if not being, too independent. Try to be open, honest and genuine. Kind and caring, yet not possessive. Prefer red wine to white (but willing to adapt to the seasons), granola & fruit to a full English, and dogs to cats.
Support Fair-trade/organic, recycling and environmental issues. Interested in conservation & wildlife (that degree in zoology showing through). Can cook (moderately well but it's not a thrill for one), iron my own shirts and sew on buttons. Handy with paint brushes and much, much more, due to an extensive property improvement project I'm finally emerging from. This has also shown me to be surprisingly creative and necessarily resilient.
Comfortable with who I am, willing to discover what we might be. I know there are more adventures remaining in life. Preferably plenty of shared ones. There's so much of the UK and Ireland to explore, for starters.
PS. My tattoos are rather discreet. I can be, too.
About his ideal match
It's a mind and body thing - and these can't be defined on an electronic piece of paper. That said, it's most likely that you're active and enjoy the outdoors, a smart cookie, and with interests that have some overlap with my own. An ability to encourage me to some cultural events is welcomed.
Like me, you'd be delighted to find a great friendship. We have our own established lives and are looking to enhance them. Who knows what the future might bring. There's still the hope of finding passion, so we should share that belief.
If your profile escapes most of the clichés on here, then all the better. It's likely to have been updated within the last six months and the main photo is unlikely to feature you wearing sunglasses.
Distance is important. Less really is more, although you never know for that connection!
