In His Own Words
About him
I think one of my best attributes is deciding to do things, such as holidays, days out, weekends away without any hesitation. Life is too short to keep planning too far in the future so let’s live our lives today and tomorrow we’ll do something else we enjoy.
I am a practically minded person who can turn his hand to most jobs around the house and beyond, enjoying the challenges it brings. I enjoy good company and can engage in a wide range of conversations and add some good humour. I can be spontaneous in many different situations. I can make people laugh and I'm not afraid to laugh at myself. I consider myself fairly laid back and easy going.
I’m keen on DIY and gardening, enjoy helping others with jobs.
I like a good walk, site seeing and visiting NT properties and visiting the open gardens in the spring and summer weekends especially if they serve cream teas. I also have a couple of electric bikes which I enjoy riding on forest trails especially.
I particularly like watching good drama programs and comedy. I enjoy cooking, especially when it is for family and friends or someone special, but feel more confident working from recipes.
I have a luxury motorhome that I use to go on adventures. It is fully self-contained although I do tend to go on campsites mainly. I have toured Spain and Portugal for 3 months over the winter for 3 times since 2019, last winter I took in Morocco too which was absolutely amazing. I would like to find someone who would enjoy these types of holidays, especially escaping the cold wet winter here? I also like to fly to destinations further afield, the Canaries, Turkey, hopefully South Africa and the Far East.
About his ideal match
Someone who can be spontaneous, caring, become best friends, lovers, good conversationalist, listener.
I'd like to share travelling, relaxing and talking, sitting together quietly,
A deal breaker would be smoking and a heavy drinker
