In His Own Words
About him
I was married for over 30 years and nursed my wife through a long illness, so I would say I am loyal and caring. I have a large circle of friends who I believe would describe me as easy going and good company. I worked in design and am very interested in all forms of creativity, currently focussing on fine art printmaking. I like to keep myself fit with exercise and walking and love the theatre and reading. I am a positive person with an optimistic outlook on life.
About his ideal match
I'm looking for someone ideally with a creative background who is interested and curious about culture and politics. Someone who enjoys walking and the countryside, I'm not particularly interested in clubbing or nightlife.
