In His Own Words
About him
I was widowed 6 years ago after 43 years of happy marriage
I am lively and humorous, I believe.
I am a sociable man with many interests. I love to chat, listen and laugh.
I am active in my community with some volunteering from chairing committees to helping to tend the gardens at the war memorial
I love gardens, gardening and The Times puzzles including the cryptic crosswords.
I enjoy the arts, museums, theatre and music.
I love good food and wine and I don’t much like dining alone.
I am never going to play golf or bridge and I am not a lover of opera.
About his ideal match
You will be independent with a wish to share some fun times.
Easy going and capable of enjoying an uncomplicated friendship,
I am not looking for a 24/7 relationship.
I want someone who will enjoy sharing trips to gardens, galleries and museums - generally with a good meal involved.
I want someone with whom I can do all of these things and equally someone I can happily do nothing with.
