In His Own Words
About him
Having had two fantastic careers I'm now retired and enjoying life. I consider myself to be a gentleman who still believes in old fashioned values but doesn't live in the past.
I'm an active person and I play golf regularly. I also enjoy walking and hiking, especially in the Lake District. I prefer to be in the fresh air than in the stale air of a gym. I have played rugby union and still have an avid interest in it. I enjoy F1, sailing and horse riding. I have been very fortunate in that I owned a thoroughbred.
I have a dry sense of humour and I enjoy stimulating conversation on all manner of subjects. Opinions vary and I respect those of others. That said, I don't subscribe to any 'Woke' ideology, political correctness or any social media platform. I also dislike bad manners, rudeness, a lack of consideration of others and those who believe themselves to be entitled.
Other interests include black and white film photography, listening to jazz on vinyl, classical music, big band swing, rock and other genres. I did play tenor sax and the clarinet for a while. Now I prefer to listen to those who can play them expertly. I also like attending the theatre, cinema and concerts. I've never been the ballet or attended an opera but I'm willing to try. I read a great deal, too, both fiction and non-fiction. I like to keep abreast of current affairs.
I've had motorcycles but don't have one now.
I have visited a number of places including Hong Kong, Egypt, Madeira, France, Italy, Gibraltar and Madagascar. I have also lived and worked in Germany, the USA, Australia and Spain. I particularly like Rome and visit the city at least once a year. There are still many places I would like to visit including South America, Japan, India and also to cruise to New York and back on an ocean liner.
Single, I have no children, nor do I want any. My preference is to meet a lady who also doesn't have, nor wants, any, but would be open with the right lady.
I like cats and horses.
About his ideal match
I have no 'ideal' match in terms of height, hair colour, ethnicity, etc. We'll know if and when we meet if there is chemistry beyond a mutual physical attraction. I'm seeking a lady first and foremost who shares similar values. Her interests don't have to coincide with mine because to would be great to be introduced to and share new ones.
I'm looking for someone who also realises that sometimes it takes a little longer than the first meeting to decide that we want to start a relationship. Often it takes a few dates doing different things before we decide. Or that's how it used to be before the internet came along forcing everyone to want everything instantly.
Please only make contact or add me to your 'favourites' if you are genuinely interested. However, I can't promise to reply positively.
If you would like to write to me, please send a proper message you've written yourself, to which I will reply. 'One-liners' will be ignored.
If I write to you, please do have the courtesy to write back, even if it is a refusal. Thankyou.
