In His Own Words
About him
In a sentence - "still crazy after all these years" could sum me up, but equally Good Times - these are the good times. No longer needing to do paid work I am into persuing happiness, new experiences, and new adventures. All of which are better shared. I have positive and optimistic upbeat view on life.
I was born and grew up in the North West but I have lived the majority of my life in the South East. Looking to relocate to Sussex or Hampshire in 2025, so ideally looking to meet a new partner based the South East or south of London.
Having asked a few my friends would describe me as bright, honest, sociable, loyal, loving, caring, romantic, passionate, a bit bohemian but one whovalues tradition, kind, a good listener, and all round good mate.
Looking for a special friend to build an honest, monogamous, close mutually supportive relationship. I'm a great believer in that indefinable 'chemistry.'
I am liberal minded ( small L ) on most things and open to all opinions. Into music - a wide selection - and movies, theatre, art.
I am a member of and regular visitor to most of the larger London galleries.
I take an interest in and care for the environment, and I love most animals.
I'm family orientated. I have three adult children, none of who live near me, but we keep in touch regularly.
I was married for 28 years, and divorced in 2010. All amicable, no baggage.
Having retired from paid work in 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 Freeman of the City of London and a member of one of the City's oldest Livery companies. 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.
That said, I take a keen interest in current affairs.
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, Hampshire, or within an or so hours drive of London. Probably someone with similar interests, to be good friends with, who is romantic, wants to share fun and laughter, who likes to hug, dance in the kitchen, who's happy 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 !
