In His Own Words
About him
Unexpectedly widowed with school age children. The children mean I can't act my age. The calendar says I’m 62, but in reality, closer to 35. Sensible, but still spontaneous.
I would still like grown up conversation!
I'm still working as a consulting engineer; so can't commit to much more than coffee/ lunch, maybe a day out at weekends.
Sport? not really! I walk, cycle, ski, sail and enjoy gardening (the hacking and slashing parts).
TV? besides, the radio/podcasts are better and allows me to multitask with the ironing and diy.
After a year of tidying the house and garden, it’s time to ask for help in shaping my new life.
About his ideal match
I'd like some one with a charming personality and an adventurous spirit.
Live is too short to spend every night in front of the fire, or all weekend getting ready for the working week.
"I want to break free" to quote Queen. And no, I’d look good in heels etc, like the video 😊
