In His Own Words
About him
Hi. Thanks for reading my profile.
I'm an Intelligent thinking man, warm caring and kind. Married for over forty years but now three years widowed.
Two adult children and one granddaughter to whom I'm very close to.
Retired from a London based career in financial services.
Family orientated I socialise with family and friends very regularly but missing being part of a couple.
Various interests including theatre visits to London, particularly enjoy musicals and the occasional ballet.
Not an expert but enjoy art galleries and museums.
Enjoy days out to the coast and country, it's nice to stroll along by the sea or visit a National Trust property or RHS garden.
I'm a member of the NT, RHS, and U3A.
Eat out regularly, restaurant and pub meals.
Or just meeting up for coffee cake and chat.
I'm a member of a local health club and try to keep fit with mostly regular swimming nowadays.
Love to travel both short and long haul, I enjoy city breaks and longer holidays both UK and abroad. I've been to lots of places but happy to explore new ones or re-visit favourite destinations.
I enjoy driving but also have a railcard which can be useful for journeys into London or further afield at times.
Photos all 2025 apart from 2 & 3 which are 2024.
