In His Own Words
About him
I have been called a charmer, a thinker, loyal, honest, thoughtful, exasperating and a pain in the arse. I have been a forest manager and an English teacher, the former I loved and the latter a survival tactic.
I like reading & writing, films, detective series, wildlife & walking, sustainable living, cooking, antiques, history and sitting in the sun watching the world go by. I dislike most people because they're too selfish, and therefore crowded places.
Just come back to the elephant's graveyard after spending thirty years in France so rediscovering Scotland. I like projects and at the moment am converting an old van(Susie the Suzuki) into a camper.
I smoke, but don't let that put you off, I do it in my man-cave. During my thirty years in France, I acquired the habit of wine with meals(red) which is recommended for your health you know, that's my excuse anyway.
Not the most gregarious of people - occasionally sociable loner, mainly because I haven't met many that I like. The six that I have made(call them my pall-bearers), I've had for over fifty years. We had a reunion in London this year and it was a 'hoot and a roar'.
About his ideal match
Looking for someone who I can be happy with who shares some of my interests and traits.
I'm not demanding and expect the same. I don't like living in pockets as mentioned above. I like all sorts of women my female pall-bearers are a journalist and a nurse.
'Men are from Mars and Women from Venus' as that old book said, bits of it made me chuckle, but as the French say, 'vive la difference'.
