In His Own Words
About him
I've been widowed for a few years now and I keep busy travelling and helping my family. I'm not someone who needs a lot of looking after. I am, by most accounts, a pretty good cook. For relaxation I enjoy getting out in the countryside on two wheels or two legs. I keep pretty busy between Surrey and helping my daughter with her restaurant in Bristol. I am very practical and I'm competent with most building, electrical, plumbing and general DIY skills. I'm very keen on reducing my carbon footprint and I would like to build my own eco-home/passive house after qualifying as a Passive House Designer.
After some time over in New Zealand I came back to help my daughter with the refurbishment of an old bank in Bristol to turn it into a restaurant. The pay is lousy, but I get to have cuddles with my granddaughters and we have special times together at the zoo or the seaside along with me babysitting them.
I’ll be downsizing from the family home soon. I want to have a Surrey base and something in Bristol. I also want to enjoy more of the countryside in this beautiful land so I’m planning to do more bike-packing on my new e-bike.
I also look after a small property portfolio to help boost my income in retirement.
I walk at least once a week with friends discovering new parts of the countryside. I walked 117 miles on the Cotswold Way, which was a great experience. I've also got back into skiing again, generally in Canada.
I love listening to good music and I like many different genres.
One of my greatest loves is cooking and I'm pretty accomplished, as most of my friends would say. Thai, Indian, Lebanese, Italian and "modern British" are favourites. I also cook hot-smoked foods on my BBQs or smokers. Enjoying good wine with food is one of life's pleasures for me.
I like to go on short breaks to different parts of the country. These have been a bit limited in the recent past, but I do get away with family on occasions. Exploring new areas is always a delight.
About his ideal match
I'm looking for someone who is active, has a positive outlook on life, is honest, caring, affectionate and romantic.
I would hope to enjoy shared physical activities with them along with more cerebral pleasures, the theatre, the arts, good food and wine, visiting interesting places and enjoying holidays together.
Finding someone who can be a friend before thinking about anything more involved is important too.
