In His Own Words
About him
I am retired, financially secure, nice home, good health, reliable car, love driving. Intelligent, well-traveled, dry sense of humour, good manners, smart appearance, smell nice. Fun to be with.
Cat owner. Love animals, the countryside. Inquisitive mind. Many hobbies. Not born in Lancashire but it is my spiritual home. Have daughter who works in a GP's surgery in Poole, Dorset.. Son in Kent. Wonderful granddaughter at Uni and hell bent on becoming a Child Psychologist.
Love sharing. Write poetry. Accomplished photographer. Enjoy cooking. Capable of cooking a Christmas dinner with all trimmings.
Have faults as have we all. But am not angry, argumentative or unable to take criticism if justified.
Had a great childhood with inspiring parents. All my good points I got from them and my bad points I developed independently !!
I have a cat, a Siamese Cross Bengal called Bella by the way.
Alone rather than lonely.

About his ideal match
I am hoping to meet a female companion in similar age-range with time on her hands, to enjoy drives in countryside, museums, trattorias, antique emporiums, art galleries, music gigs and similar interesting destinations. We'd share ideas of course. Quiet nights in. Laughing at something on TV.
After that we can just take it a step (a mile?) at a time
Ideal day would be to cook for someone I had strong feelings for, some wine and to make love.
Living in beautiful Colne, distance not a real problem as I love driving but long trips could be problematical if it was to get serious as I am living where I love to be and not keen on relocating. But never say never !!
