In His Own Words
About him
I'm a bit of a mongrel: part Welsh, part Irish, part English.
I'm apparently 81 but I don't really believe it, because I'm lucky enough to be in good health.
A dear friend described me as having 'enduring positivity' and I'm happy with that description. (She calls me Tigger, though I'm not always bouncy.) I'm tolerant, sometimes to excess. I love reading and always have at least two books on the go.
I have two daughters, whom I adore. A couple of years ago my elder daughter had a son, my first grandchild. Discovering late in life how much fun grandchildren are, I moved from Bristol to Birmingham, where I now live close to them and within 20 minutes of the delights of Symphony Hall. That's great, because I love music, in which I have catholic tastes which I sometimes inflict on the world at a hospital radio station. I'm nerdy enough to enjoy a bit of podcasting and writing too.
About his ideal match
In an ideal world, she will be positive, funny, charming. She appreciates and enjoys the good things in life, Leisurely dinners in Italian restaurants are her thing. She'll probably have children and grandchildren who are as important to her as mine are to me. She enjoys reading, listening to music.
