In His Own Words
About him
My friends would describe me as a mildly eccentric bloke with an ability to make you laugh at silly things "out of the box". I'm a bit child like sometimes but I love walks in the countryside and a good pint or two at the pub. I sadly lost my wife of 54 years last summer and excitedly ready to move on. I still miss her in so many ways including her discipline. She was bedridden in our living room for three years and she had a good view of me preparing meals in the kitchen. So I am able to rustle up something edible! I hate cruelty to animals and mankind. I was the publisher of the up-market county magazines for Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire and responsible for selling the advertising and the distribution. I'm interested in rivers, brooks and streams and had a regular feature every month. Alternatively I have produced a light hearted A5 journal for my friends called the Drinking Echo which I started producing in 1966 when we were young. It's wonderful that we have all kept in touch all these years. I have also written two unpublished books on personal nonsense that my family and friends seem to like. I was on Graham Dean's show on Capital Radio. I am always interested in anything about pop radio including the Pirate Radio stations and I did my bit to keep them on the air. I love Boom Radio and Roger Day has often mentioned me on his programme. He was good to me when my wife died. One day I hope to go to Spain and hopefully meet him. Perhaps you could come with me! Now that I'm retired and love taking my son's 4 year-old golden labrador for walks. She loves to be naughty sometimes and regrettably she knows I'm a soft touch. I have a large garden and enjoy keeping it tidy and resplendered - when it's sunny! I am a reasonably quick mover, once a dedicated runner with a local running clubs. But I am vertically challenged at only 5ft 3in. I sometimes think I'm doing this until I meet my Happy Ever After. Let's just see what happens!
About his ideal match
I would like to meet a reasonably attractive woman that is not judgemental. Someone with a good sense of humour. Someone that enjoys a drink or two by the fire - or in the sunshine. Maybe like a cuddle or two, or more! I like walking anywhere. I haven't been abroad since 1981 but I love France. Well I did then! Also I like good food but living on my own I never cook anything special. So someone might be able to change all that.
What His Friends Say

Hi
I'm Martin's cousin. I recommend him as a great guy. He is amusing, entertaining, knowledgable, sociable and, as such, very humorous, interesting and good company. Martin has a passion and appreciation for food and drink, making him a great chef and host. He is a dedicated family man who is kind, considerate and compassionate. Martin strikes me as being fit, healthy and energetic, with a history of running the London Marathon. He is reliable, decent, honest and truthful, with great empathy. He is also a best friend who I value greatly.
