In His Own Words
About him
So far; I have had an interesting life within two very rewarding careers, as an engineer in the army and after going back to school, a archaeologist. There were a couple of jobs in-between, and my time as a maintenance guy at the Hilton in Aberdeen still holds fond memories.
Doing the commercial archaeology thing enabled me to go off and explore between digging contracts. Mostly around Cornwall and a lot of time out in Quebec. It does bother me though, how little I know of my own county, Devon. I love to walk and hike across Dartmoor, but a part from Plymouth the rest is a mystery. It would be really nice to go on door-step adventures and share the experience with a kindred spirit. (hint, hint).
I'm quite utilitarian in outlook. I'm guessing my life experiences has made me this way, although I've been told it is a very Taurus trait?? My voluntary work on a neglected local fort and the good it is bringing to the people in the area army be an example of what makes me tick. I do believe money is important to pay the bills, but it defiantly is not everything. People, and that special someone that helps you to smile inside, are.
I don't have many dislikes. Just selfish, greedy, unkind people. They are a disappointment. Wasting their lives moaning, and not in a good way. Oh yes, my sense of humour is born out of 1970 & 80's sitcoms.
It is in my nature to explore and I love discovering new places, new to me, and retaining quirky facts. I enjoy a good quiz either on the telly or in a pub. (preferably in a pub). I also do a lot of walking and still keep my hand hiking once or twice a year. I think they call it wild camping today? Often thought it would be great to do one of the epic pilgrim trails. Hotels along the way of course ;-)
About his ideal match
I guess we will know when we find each other?
My ideal match will be someone that likes being with me. Looks forward to spending time together because it feels easy, effortless, natural.
I wouldn't want them to be perfect. Can you imagine how boring a perfect partner would be?
Inquisitive, questioning, independently minded. Simply a joy to be with while sharing discoveries, experiences and the highs... inevitable lows.. of being alive.
