In His Own Words
About him
Old guy with a young outlook, looking for someone to share coffee, red wine and visits to live music with. Walks at the coast, meals out and drives in the countryside.Art galleries and museums. Evenings in listening to Motown, soul, and Classic fm.I’ve worked in banking, insurance, and the airline industry.
I miss little things, holding hands, hugging and even having an argument. The saying “loads of people to do something with but nobody to do nothing with “ applies. In my head I’m 34. Just found jeans that fit properly at this time of my life. I’m physically fit and have a lot of friends mostly male, some female who have been very supportive after losing my wife to cancer during lockdown.
I’m happy in my own skin, but would like to share leisure time with someone who feels the same. I’ve drunk rum in the Caribbean, eaten sushi on the Bullet Train, had my photograph taken with a geisha in Kyoto, travelled Club World courtesy of my job with BA, owned motorcycles. Got my first body art at the age of 60. Get to know me and you may get to see it.
I was with the love of my life for 52 years. Married for 49 of those with all of life’s ups and downs. Now love cruising, it’s a great way to meet people. I am happy to travel on my own but it would be lovely to have someone to share it with. I prefer to be warm given the choice and don’t really like ice and snow.
I’m a people watcher and never happier than sitting with a coffee or beer in my hand watching the world go by. I am a great believer in fate/kismet. and if something is meant to be then it will happen. It’s amazing how fate has intervened in my life over the last couple of years.
I’m sure the majority of men and women on here have lost dear friends and loved ones.
It’s our time now. Life’s for living ! We don’t know when the adventure is going to end but sadly it will. So let’s have some fun and happy times whilst we can.
Best wishes to everyone who reads this. I hope you find what you’re looking for.

About his ideal match
Someone who is happy in their own skin and has their own life but would like someone to share it with them. Someone who wants to share outings and adventures with me. With a similar outlook on life. Preferably living not too far away, but distance, like age, is just a number.I still enjoy driving and live a couple of miles from the East Coast railway line to London and Edinburgh I would be quite happy to share a friendship online. I would like to meet somebody with an open mind who laughs easily, likes the occasional pub visit, walking on our beautiful north coast, fish and chips,a glass, or two, of red and is not looking for someone who is 6 ft tall, I’m 5’7” and am not likely to grow anymore. If they liked Northern Soul and Motown that’s a bonus. I always had a preference for blondes (natural or otherwise) and always have but let’s see. If I message you and you aren’t interested in meeting, please be honest and just say so. However if you just want to chat, great. We are at the age where we are losing more friends than we are making. I’m a grown up and can accept “no”. Let’s just see what happens, who knows ?
