In His Own Words
About him
Positive, curious, slightly laid back approach to mature life. Enjoy city breaks and wider travel to places of interest. Prefer comfortable hotels but don't mind roughing it on walks if there's good food, wine and company at the destination. Prefer boats and trains to planes but have been known to cycle or row in fitter days.
Fond of books, arts and entertainment. I care about the people in my life. My close friends know me for loyalty and laughter.
Currently restricted to local travel within Germany owing to Covid-19 restrictions.
I have an elderly mother and was her chief carer until recently but she now resides in a care home in NE England.
About his ideal match
Having been widowed four years ago, I'm ready for more romance, affection and companionship in the remains of life's journey. I don't dance but am happy to consider a last tango in Seville with the right partner and have no preconceived ideas about who that might be. Variety is the spice of life. Vive la difference as they say in, er...Peckham.
You probably need to like being near, in or on water if we're ever to get along really well. Dry land is also acceptable.
I have eclectic tastes in music but if you like Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Mozart or even Carole King, you'll get some idea what might be going on in the background.
Life is too short and wonderful to fret over details. Anyway, that's enough about me. Tell me more about you.
What His Friends Say
Michael said...
We are old school friends so I know him pretty well. How he describes himself gives a fair impression of what he's like. Yes, he sounds rather special doesn't he and that's because he is.
Before I read the profile he had written himself I noted down the following: caring, intelligent, educated, of an enquiring mind, zest for life, adventurous. In case all this sounds a bit daunting I must tell you that he is also easy-going.
Of course he is not perfect; who is? He occasionally displays a questionable taste in hats but anybody with a little determination and persuasiveness could remedy that.
