In His Own Words

About him

I was a secondary school English teacher for over 30 years including 7 as a Deputy Head and 10 as a Headmaster. All were in comprehensive schools. I took Honours and Master's degrees in Literary Studies before going into teaching
.
I believe I am outgoing, confident, amusing, a ready conversationalist with a keen interest in how others feel and think about our world. Long-standing and wide-ranging interests in arts, culture, history and politics. I fell in love with language, words, books and their power at a very young age. From the Beano to 'Hamlet' in 12 easy steps.

Purely by chance I found I enjoyed acting and over the last 30 odd years have appeared on the amateur stage in over 80 roles, from Ayckborne to Shakespeare. I have written pantos when requested to by different groups and enjoyed the theatre hugely until I decided my time was up a couple of years back. Leave 'em wanting more, as the adage goes.

I play guitar and mandolin (after a fashion) and have performed at local folk clubs and pubs either solo or with a little band we called The Jammy Dodgers. We even recorded an album at a friend's studio and wanted to call it 'Take the Biscuit' (can't think why)
A self-published author (mainly fiction on Amazon kindle) and an amateur singer-songwriter, I like to entertain and hold on to joie de vivre as long as I can. And I'm looking for someone to share that spirit. Walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme.

About his ideal match

I'm looking for a thoughtful, articulate individual with a mind of her own, who can share my interests and complement them with her own talents and enthusiasms.

I'm looking for a woman of heart and mind, body and soul, independent and free. I'm looking for tenderness and delight in the joys of living and loving.

I'm looking for a good companion, a soul-mate, a partner down the road, a hand to hold, a kiss to share. I'm not looking for a second wife, but I don't rule out marriage.

I know it takes time but I still believe in love. Without love, life is thin gruel.

The fundamental things apply, as time goes by.
