In His Own Words
About him
Widower looking to find someone to be a special friend sharing time together. Maybe days out at the seaside or leisurely countryside walks followed by a pub lunch. Perhaps a trip to a theatre to see a show. Hopefully if our friendship is strong it could lead to something special. I would like it to become a steady loving relationship. My friends would say I am very caring, I have a good sense of humour and a wide variety of interests. I feed and provide the local population of hedgehogs with water and shelters scattered around my garden. I keep an eye open for sick and underweight individuals as we approach Winter by watching the feeding station on C.C.TV
To relax I enjoy playing ukulele with a small group of friends. Together we give performances around care homes and raise money for charities. I would love to share my interests with a partner and hopefully they could share their interests with me. I am always ready to have a go at anything.
About his ideal match
My ideal match would be loving and understanding. They would enjoy the countryside and the wildlife and serenity it brings. Hopefully they would enjoy days out on the coast strolling the seashore enjoying the fresh air, scenery and atmosphere. Maybe a trip to the Lake District or a zoo. Possibly a museum. I like being out and about and it would be so much better with a lovely partner on my arm sharing the experience. Night times are a time to relax in front of the t.v. or chilling with a drink and chatting. Once in a while a show at a theatre be it music or comedy. The deal breaker is to be prepared to take an interest in and share one another's interests.
