In His Own Words
About him
I retired from corporate life as an International Sales Director for a Global IT Company just over 5 years ago and, after a year of various volunteering for charities, including a year at Kew, I set up my own little gardening company, based in Twickenham, which I've been successfully running for 6 years now - and I love it!
My children are all grown and happy with their own families and we see each other regularly - but I have this time for myself and for, hopefully, a new special person.
I'm open, friendly, inherently cheerful, loving and inquisitive - and an ardent remainer with very lefty leanings.
I really enjoy music, opera, art history, ballet, rugby, theatre, cooking and being outside - I most of all, I miss sharing all these things!
I can't think of much that isn't improved by sharing and I would like to find someone who has the time to do that, be spontaneous and explore .................. pretty much everything! ;-o)
I'm just back from a month of travelling around Europe by train, ferry and bus - it would have been much nicer as a shared experience.
Do stop by if you are kind, friendly and loving with a happy sense of humour and a good communicator - the Carribean Island, Super Yacht, Villas around the world etc ............ I would trade them all in a heartbeat for that special connection.
Congrats if you've got this far ........and best wishes to everyone!
About his ideal match
I would love to me someone who is open minded, friendly and loving, but with their own well held views, especially polictically. Someone who is interested in the arts. theatre, ballet and rugby and keen to explore and travel.
I would love to meet a woman with who communicates well and easily and that find each other very interesting and attractive. Food is important: we need to cook, eat in and eat out happily together and share good wines. For hyperbole - and to purposely misquote Samuel Johnson "if you are tired of food and drink, you are probably tired of life" ........... I'm not and aren't ;-o)
Someone who likes to laugh and play and enjoy a peregrination ................ and a nice long intimate lunch! :-o)
