In His Own Words
About him
Still crazy after all these years sort of sums it up. If this grabs your attention please read on!
Born and grew up in the North West but I have lived the majority of my life in the South East.
Friendly, funny, kind, bright, honest, caring, loving, passionate, kind, a good listener, a good mate - that's what my friends tell me ! - interested in current affairs, with a positive outlook.
Looking for a special friend to share happy times and to support if times are not so good. It would be nice if things were to develop further with the right person.
I am liberal minded on most things and open to all opinions. Stylish, into music - a wide selection - and movies, well read, care for the environment and nature.
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. Now I have the luxury of more time for travelling, seeing family and friends.
Outside the UK I love the US and 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 with a Livery company in the City of London and wish to help it continue to thrive. 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.
I served two terms as a district councillor and for 10 years chaired a national group on housing. I am no longer actively involved, but I retain a keen interest in current affairs. Not involved in party politics anymore and, sadly, disillusioned with much of it.
I like dressing up for occasions but my preferred mode is casual.
I'm a Piscean ( just ! ).

About his ideal match
Ideally looking for someone based in the South East where I live, or maybe west Sussex, the North West, or Yorkshire, all of which I know well and visit regularly, but open to meeting potential partners from anywhere in the UK, or Europe, or the US. Probably someone with similar interests, to be good friends with, a lover who is romantic, who wants to share fun and laughter, who likes a dance in the kitchen, to support one another, share holidays, short city breaks, 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 !
