In His Own Words
About him
I’m sociable and love getting involved in things — I’ve always been one to join clubs and somehow end up on the committee (though I’m learning to say no these days!). I enjoy keeping active and I’m happiest when I’m out and about — exploring somewhere new, going to an event, or just enjoying good company. Currently running a little workshop in a community garden.
I love cooking, baking, a bit of DIY, and I’ll never say no to a good browse around the shops. Sports aren’t really my thing to watch, but I’ve enjoyed swimming, tennis, and golf — enthusiasm over skill, shall we say!
I’d like to see more of the UK — I’ve worked and lived abroad, so the UK feels more appealing now. I try to live a bit greener with solar panels, a small electric car, and a push bike.
I’d say I’m fairly laid back, optimistic, and thoughtful. Life’s good — but sharing it with someone special would make it even better.
About his ideal match
I’m hoping to meet someone who enjoys getting out and about and making the most of each day — someone who loves a visit with friends, enjoys being outdoors in nature, a nice meal out, an event, a fair, or a wander around an antique shop or local market, to become best friends, maybe more.
