In His Own Words
About him
I am a down to earth person. I value honesty, openness and trustworthiness, and I believe that humour is an important element to have in a relationship/life.
Both mentally and physically I am told I belie my age, and definitely have a zest for living, learning and exploring. I enjoy good conversations on a range of topics.
So, I am quite active and very much enjoy walking/hiking, and some of the "ologies" that help to make the great outdoors so interesting. But I also have a wide variety of other interests - art, the theatre, eclectic tastes in music, travel, culture, gardening, some sports, volunteering.etc. - and food! ( can't live without it!).
To help with all of this I attend regular Pilates classes, and occasionally other fitness activities - though am not a fanatic.
I have two lovely daughters and two grandchildren who live in Cheshire, and we talk and tease regularly.
All photos are within the last 2 years, including this year.
About his ideal match
It would be good to meet someone who has the willingness and flexibility to create space to develop a new relationship, where we can share interests and activities, and enjoy new experiences.
I believe life is for living, and if you are generally fit and active and willing to drive, why can't we get together to enjoy them - and did I mention food?
It would be good to create and share a new chapter in our lives, with someone who has an affectionate and fun personality. If all of this resonates with you, please feel free to get in touch.
It takes two to tango - oh if only I could.!
