In His Own Words
About him
I'm neither Colin Firth nor a billionaire, haven't swum the channel or won "best marrow" at the church fete, but I'm an aware, caring and fun soul who's woken up to what matters in life.
Well educated, with long eyelashes and a somewhat contrary personality - shy at times, at others lively, cheeky & playful! I'm down to earth, a good listener, empathic and make people laugh. I now focus more on happiness and living than on "career" and, grateful for so much, I value integrity, compassion, conscience, humility, kindness & love.
Masculine, but in touch with my feminine side.
Excited about the future, I blend green smoothies, fun and adventure with "putting something back" and simple pleasures - live music, a casual beer & BBQ, walking in fresh snow, driving with the roof down, music up & sunnies on, crisp cotton sheets and the cliché'd drink by a fire - but no pipe & slippers!
Happiest in T-shirt and shorts, I don a suit when required and enjoy dressing up too. I love cooking, with fresh ingredients and haven't knowingly poisoned anyone. Yet. Also a glass of good, but affordable, wine, and singing (badly) and dancing (ish) in the kitchen - but it's not the same cooking for one!
Home is a cosy Cotswold cottage, complete with Aga, but I'm adventurous and cosmopolitan having lived and travelled worldwide, in comfort and roughing it.
I love to be outdoors - walking, e-cycling (but no MAMIL!), skiing, sailing and chilling in my double hammock, all in the sun!
I also love dipping into cities. And a warm sea :)
I enjoy stimulating conversation, socialising in intimate, rather than large, groups and, romantic & sensual, I love holding hands, delicate unhurried kisses, sunsets, picnics and candlelit dinners, massages and baths for two.
Having "careered" for years in the professional and corporate world, I now help people reach better places. I also strike a good Mind - Body - Spirit - Environment balance myself, with quiet time and space, a healthy diet (ok, naughty cakes too!), exercise, meditation and fun!

About his ideal match
A young-at-heart bundle of fun, with integrity and the time for a relationship, my soulmate is a beautiful, spiritual, love and laughter-filled woman, possibly diminutive in stature (but not in personality!).
I'm more interested in you as a person than your bank balance or CV and you're ideally emotionally intelligent, sensitive and kind. Intelligent, feminine, tactile and passionate, you enjoy all forms of intimacy, share my values and want a simple, contented, life but with lots of fun, adventure, spontaneity, laughter and, from time to time, the finer things too.
You want to share your life in a relationship in which you're loved, respected, valued, cared for, stimulated, protected and cherished, don't feel patronised by that and give as good as you get!
You embrace and celebrate the differences and complementary qualities of women and men - and will smile if I open a door for you, say ladies come first, compliment you on your appearance, carry your bags or bring you breakfast in bed (at a festival even, if that appeals)!
A broad and lively sense of humour also appeals - what better feeling is there than to really laugh, including at oneself? OK, eating cake's also right up there, so perhaps you bake too but, the icing on top, you keep yourself fit and healthy.
Finally, like me, you've quite possibly worked on yourself - embracing the spiritual journey of self awareness, personal growth and awakening - and value that in a partner. Best friends and lovers, we'll also be students, teachers and rocks of and for one another, as we learn & grow together and realise our dreams!
Yes, this is prescriptive and some of my words will "turn off" many of you lovely ladies..... but not the one for whom I'm patiently searching - you're very special and I know you're out there, so please say hello!
Thanks for stopping by and if I'm not for you, good luck kissing frogs 🐸 🐸 !!
