In His Own Words
About him
I love conversation, enjoy personal adventures (getting to know you, wild ideas, laughter, family, friends, talk) and delight in outdoor activity (walking, gardening, sunshine, deep talk at dusk, sundowners, slow walks at night, even in the rain). My workshop and study are favourite places (but so is my settee in front of the TV!)
The fundamental truths of life — love, family, friendship, community; who we are and why we are here, are never far from mind. I try to express what I know about those things in writing, spending time with my daughter and her husband and children, making and mending, and being active in my community.
I live alone, so I spend some time cooking (love it) and cleaning, looking after the garden and house.
I have enough money and material resources (definitely not wealthy though); I have friends and family, a home, and a community I love. I'm looking for a friend (with benefits for preference) who lives fairly near to have good times with.
About his ideal match
You will be thoughtful, cheerful, reasonably healthy, fairly well-read, and interested in current affairs (especially the sciences, understanding human behaviour, and what makes the world a better place).
You can keep up your end of a conversation and have things you want to talk about — but only sometimes ride your hobby horse or buzz about the bee in your bonnet.
You will enjoy physical contact, hugs, hand-holding, back or foot rubs, and maybe sharing a bed sometimes (not necessarily for sex, but if it gets to that you will be adventurous). You will like food, both cooking and eating, mostly at home, and you will be at least OK at keeping your appetite in check.
You will be independent-minded and want to keep your own life and identity and enrich it with a happy, comfortable, interesting and active friendship.
