In His Own Words

About him

Updated Feb 2024:
How can we produce a spark between us and see what kind of fire we can build?
I'm naturally outgoing, open, friendly, kind, considerate, passionate, (very passionate), tactile, loving, physical, compassionate, non-judgemental, perceptive, non-materialistic, logical and rational yet spontaneous, with a hunger for fun and happiness. Strong but with a soft centre.....and I love criptic puzzles !!!

I've managed to pack a lot into my life so far (too long a story to include here, but I will share when we meet and talk over a coffee or lunch). I look forward to accomplishing even more with the right partner. Maybe that's you! If you are adventurous, I have a yacht in the Mediterranean which is my paradise for 6 months of the year, island hopping. Would you enjoy sampling that?
I like:
The usual things in life. I'm passionate about cooking, sailing, hiking, scuba, cycling, exploring, and travelling and above all, my beautiful family. I've recently renewed my passion for painting and photography. Always had a love of dogs and liked animals in general. I enjoy watching the world go by over a coffee at a cafe on a morning.
I enjoy relaxing with friends over dinner, lunch or a glass of wine with lots of jovial banter.
I rarely dine out but prefer instead, to follow my passion for cooking, especially for someone special; and spending the occasional night in, while sharing a bottle of wine with stimulating conversation or maybe a movie, can be equally as lovely.
Life is too short for lots of emails or texts. I much prefer to talk and meet. Photos updated (Aug 2023) and were taken in the last 2 years. I am currently taking part in the Clipper Round The World Yacht Race 2023-24, so I'm out of touch occasionally.

About his ideal match

Updated 21 Sept 2023.
I would like to meet someone who is passionate about life and regards age as just a number; someone who is easy going and does not take themselves too seriously. Someone who is happy in their own skin; open minded, quick to laugh and who can see the funny side of life; a woman who is not only comfortable in jeans and walking boots, but also relishes the chance to dress up and be feminine; someone who can pack a bag at the last minute and be whisked off to somewhere exciting; a woman who can read between the lines and recognises herself here; a partner who enjoys all aspects of a close and intimate relationship and with whom I can share so much more.
