In His Own Words
About him
Having retired at last, the world is my oyster so to speak, I would love to explore much more the UK at the very least, the rest of the world too of course and have visited some amazing countries in the past.. Originally from Yorkshire but have resided in quite a few counties, mainly Surrey, Hampshire, Warwickshire and Sussex, also lived in France for over 12 years. I feel a move and maybe some travel coming along Lol.
I am a usually a very happy person who loves life, tall, romantic and tactile, perhaps some old fashioned values still, up to date on most things and I need a new best friend/ soul mate to share everything with. Bit of a Francophile having lived there in the South West. Love everything about Italy too and their food. So yes I laugh a lot, enjoy cooking and eating in or out, curled up on the sofa with a log fire and maybe you ??
Honest, faithful, genuine and reliable. Love live music, all sorts, theatre, events, travel and exploring, the arts, and animals.
About his ideal match
Must be a happy, fun person, honesty is a big one and glass half full and looking for a soul mate and best friend to share all things with.
Hopefully romantic, likes cuddles and wants to hold my hand and walk into our future, so must be tactile too.
A liking to visit/explore Italy and France as well as the UK.
As I love cooking you will need to be a great sommelier and keep me topped up ? Lol
