In His Own Words
About him
I am finding it difficult to know what to say and finding it awkward being on a dating site. It would be wonderful to meet someone that I can just enjoy life with, after a recent life changing event in my life it is obvious we are not getting any younger.
I am a very practical man and have built and renovated several properties in my time, I have several hobbies mainly revolving around water, having sailed in a former life I want to take it up again. I like older motor cars, especially older sports cars. Renovated several british classic cars, currently on a porshe 911. Used to go skiing regularly, open to taking it up again. Having sort of retired I find myself with time on my hands that I want to fill constructively and have some fun with a like mind. I love animals especially dogs, cats and rabbits.
My roots are in Yorkshire (Harrogate) and I still enjoy visiting, but have lived in the south for almost all of my life. I live in Gnosall (Staffs) where I own a canal side property and I have a new (to me) narrow boat to moor there. Like watching rugby and formula one, went to Zandvoort last year. I love anything practical especially renovating furniture, cars and properties. have participated in an antique business in a former life.
I love any sort of music, from classical, pop to heavy rock, attending several gigs/concerts recently.
I have just been to india for 3 weeks and loved it, not at all what I expected!
I dislike arrogance, having endured it for most of my working life in IT. I spent most of my working life travelling throughout Europe, USA and South Africa, I would love to do it again as a tourist.
My friends see me as easy going, funny, reliable and loyal, they say I have a remarkable similarity in appearance to Sean Connery. If that does not frighten you off let's talk. Prepared to remove the facial hair if required 😁
About his ideal match
I would like to meet someone who can enjoy themselves and would appreciate me, I am open to any new experiences (dancing?). Being a relatively independent soul I am in no way needy or possessive. I am 69 years old but do not feel it or act it (some say!). I tried golf, but head and hands were not in harmony but with the right teacher who knows?. I also enjoy walking, boating, motoring and exploring.
Geography is not really an issue but I would like to get some stability in my life. I have a property in Staffordshire and a small camper van that gives me freedom when I need it. I like eating out, but I am not a great cook. Please just start by being my friend and maybe we could share some good times, who knows what may happen?.
