In His Own Words
About him
In a sentence - "still crazy after all these years" would sum me up. No longer needing to do paid work I am into persuing happiness, fun, new experiences and new adventures.
I was born and grew up in the North West but I have lived the majority of my life in the South East.
My friends would describe me as bright, honest, sociable, loyal, caring, romantic, passionate, kind, a good listener, a good mate , and with a upbeat positive outlook.
Looking for a special friend to build an honest, monogamous, mutually supportive relationship. It would be good if things were to develop further with the right person.
I am liberal minded ( small L ) on most things and open to all opinions. Into music - a wide selection - and movies, well read. I take an interest in and care for the environment.
I am family orientated. I have three adult children, none of who live near me, but we keep in touch regularly. My kids are my biggest achievement.
Having retired from paid work at the end of February 2024 I now have lots more time to be doing the things I love.
My career was mostly as a CEO with several housing associations.
Outside the UK I love the US and I
have travelled widely in Europe.
I am a member of and regular visitor to most of the larger London galleries. Art, and the arts are two of my passions.
I am a Freeman of the City of London and a member of one of the City's oldest Livery companies. It would be good to have a partner who would accompany me to London based events - not too regularly, three to four times each year, always at nice venues.
I like dressing up for occasions but my preferred mode is casual.
I served two terms as a district councillor. Not involved in party politics anymore and, sadly, disillusioned with much of it.
I'm a Piscean ( just ! ).
All my photos. are recent.
About his ideal match
Ideally looking for someone based in the South East where I live, Sussex, the Cotswolds, or the North West, all of which I know well and visit regularly. Probably someone with similar interests, to be good friends with, who is romantic, wants to share fun and laughter, who likes a dance in the kitchen, to support one another, share holidays, short city breaks, romantic week ends, travel, etc. Someone who doesn't take life too seriously. I am intending relocating in 2025, but have yet to decide where. Let's enjoy !
