In His Own Words
About him
If you are up for it, and I hope you are, then please enjoy reading this. It's written in good faith as honestly as possible, as that is important to me, and reflects the beliefs and values I hope we share. These include respect, kindness, affection, caring, being supportive, helpful, generosity, listening, appreciation, fun, excitement, laughing, enjoying doing things together, being a couple, good conversation. I also have a practical bent (DIY & gardening) and adore dogs and cats. Competing in sports (at a good level) has been an interest and I have always enjoyed the 'great outdoors'. Nowadays I go walking/hiking (countryside or seaside), including leading Duke of Edinburgh Award groups, and boaty things. Travel - seeing new places and meeting new people - has always been part of my life which I hope we can continue to do together. I started out in the south of England and have happily lived in the UK and Europe so would be open to relocating.
About his ideal match
Positive, optimistic, cheerful, kind and caring would be wonderful. I am very open minded about most other things. Perhaps if you find what Jamie (Colin Firth) did when he flew to Marseille to seek out Aurelia was a lovely romantic gesture (in the film 'Love Actually') we may be on to a good thing.
