In His Own Words
About him
I am talkative, enjoy good conversation, am easy going and fit and active. I was lucky to have had a fascinating career which has taken me to countries all over the world. I still enjoy travelling, and have recently visited Canada and Chile. I also enjoy Eastern Europe and am lucky to have family in Slovakia whom I visit often. I have to admit though that my travels would be so much more enjoyable if I had a had someone to share it with me. I am also blessed to live in a beautiful town in beautiful South Shropshire. Again I think would be even more beautiful if I had someone to enjoy it with! At home, I enjoy gardening, cooking, reading and writing; I particularly enjoy history and love to visit historic buildings, old churches and National Trust and English Heritage properties. I play badminton mediocrely and do regular gym sessions, trying desperately to stave off the looming effects of old age. To exercise the brain I play bridge regularly and attend U3A classes in Latin. Oh and Ancient Greek with which I may have met my match and might need rescuing. When tired, I watch television: good films, football (I support Nottingham Forest and Hereford), period dramas and comforting homely old-fashioned programmes like Midsomer Murders and Father Brown. The vices which I am willing to admit to are cheese and wine.
About his ideal match
My ideal match would be a lady who is intelligent and enjoys good conversation which, by definition, includes fun and humour. She should preferably be quite active and with similar interests, especially as regards visiting beautiful and historic places. But she should also enjoy pubs, wine and dining out!
