In His Own Words
About him
I grew up in Lancashire, attended a local grammar school then attended college in Sheffield gaining a diploma in hotel management.
After a 40 year career in hospitality I retired in 2025 and about the same time separated after a 30 year marriage then subsequently re-located to Thrapston from Scotland. I have one son, recently graduated now independent finding his own way in life.
I've always preferred being outdoors in the country amongst the Fells and valleys of the Lake District, the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales or coastal areas of Britain.
I love animals especially Labradors, although without at the moment, I intend to find a pup later this year.
I've been fairly active all my life, partly because of my work, (on my feet most of the day!) and now in retirement I enjoy tennis, cycling occasionally (not too seriously), gardening and generally visiting and exploring interesting and beautiful areas of this wonderful country in which we live.
I'm ultimately looking for a long-term loving and fulfilling relationship, not necessarily marriage however very open-minded to see what happens. After a 30yr marriage I'm in no immediate rush to marry again. I don't think it's as important at this stage in life, however I never say never and retain an open mind.
It would be lovely to share holidays, weekends away, cooking, exploring different areas of Britain and cosy nights in watching a movie with a nice glass of wine or G&T.
Over the years I've grown to love the Greek Islands and Italy in particular, being the countries visited most often, however I'm open to exploring other countries far and wide.
Music is very important to me, the radio is on constantly. I enjoy a wide selection of music mostly 70's & 80's. The list of bands and solo artists that I like is extensive. Andrea Bocceli to Abba!
Please feel free to drop me a line if you like what you have read and let's see where it takes us.
About his ideal match
My ideal match will be attractive, ideally over 5ft 6inch tall, have a zest for life and live within 20 miles of Thrapston, Northants.
Interests will include a love of animals especially Labrador Retrievers, the countryside, Lakeland Fells and coastal scenery, beaches, Italy, the Greek Islands, food & wine and music.
The above is not an exclusive list however includes many of my personal likes so would be great if my match had a love of some of them together with their own special interests.
