In His Own Words
About him
Like c0mpany of others, particularly a Lady, lots of male friends to laugh with, listen too and sometimes share confidential information. Very witty but not sarcastic. Miss the company of a woman in my life to be by my side! Make me laugh; be my Raison d'etre, be my best friend and partner? I'm a bit of a softy at heart and a Bon Oeuf!
Not been on holiday for 5 years! No point really without company? As per my alter ego "Life of Brain" I do look on the bright side of life! I have a keen sense of humour; making people happy and they return the complement: much joy all round!
Have lived in Colchester 22 years. Own my home one of 8 properties on a private road: own car. Enjoy the Castle and Park!
Have Motor Car will travel!
Help my son-in-law with business accounting. Grandson is under studying me. So although not qualified I am proficient with accounting! I write my own software for The Company Accounts and have created other software gratis for a friend.
I have a daughter and son both in long term happy marriages! Five grand children. My five Grand children are all now adults and self sufficient Eldest 36, youngest 20. In there childhood we supported with holidays, sports, doing all the duties Grand Parents do!
Have been widowed for 5 years, cum 23rd July, after 56 years of a happy marriage!
Like Cryptic and other general knowledge crosswords.
Music Pop 6o's 70's Etc must have good lyrics. Favourites Simon & Garfunkel: Roy Orbison: Dusty Springfield! Classical music favourites " In the Steppes of Central Asia" by Borodin. The Wasps by Vaughan Williams. Carmina Burana by Carl Orff.
Hobbies Gardening weather permitting! This year 2024 ground saturated, patience is a virtue, needing plenty of same "Dodgeing Raindrops"
About his ideal match
An Honest caring and social Lady who likes to travel as partners in the UK, France, Germany, Spain? Goes, without saying we would have bonded, and trust each other!?
Is relaxed in my company and others, maybe a wicked sense of humour? The Pub: parties Joins in with the fun! Appreciates The Arts: Classical Music: Painting The Masters Someone who is supportive, happy, loving and be my best friend!
Activities to share gardening, dining, walking in the park et al. Or just sit "watch the grass grow" with a glass of wine?
Watching Rugby Union or League. T,V. I would say is your choice, hope we would find programmes to watch together. Time apart is maybe essential, don't want to be on your shoulder all time (Earwigging)? If not; I am happy to support you, as required?
You will tend to "Accent the Positives" and build on the strengths rather than any negatives we may have? Most relationships are an understanding, compromise, with a deal of love and affection?! Often "A square peg will fit in a round hole"? You will gather from my alias; That I, "Try to Look on the Bright side of Life"? Hope you will agree that meeting in person, fairly soon is essential?
Deal breaker? A Lady who wants a "friendship only relationship"! I have sufficient "friends only" already on this dating site; which I continue too correspond with?
