In His Own Words
About him
I'm happy with my own company but I know I'm happier with a lady by my side.
I lost my lovely wife of 48 years in 2018. I've walked over 7,000 miles raising money for Sepsis research since her passing. I still walk regularly.
I enjoy my holidays. But I find the dreaded ss quite outrageous. I recently discovered a luxury holiday in Rhodes for £1,330 for a single passenger and £1,280 for two. Crazy.
I enjoy cruising, rivers and ocean. I'm also happy in a smart hotel in the sunshine.
My birth certificate says I am 78. I don't feel it. And as the wise man said age is just a number. I feel the same about distance. Again it's only miles.
I don't think I'll be lucky enough to meet someone who lives round the corner. But senior railcards and bus passes bring a host of places within reach. And there's always the car
I'm a retired newspaper editor living in Newport, Shropshire.
I have a very supportive family and a wide circle of friends. But no one with whom to share special moments and plan for the future.
I've just returned from a cruise to Australia. 47 days to get there. 19 hours to get back.
Most people find me interesting. I'm a good listener and despite creaking knees I am very active and feel much younger . I enjoy walking and am a member of two local jazz clubs
Cricket in the summer and jump racing in the winter. A chat with friends at the pub and a nice meal.
I have a son and daughter and four wonderful grandchildren.
I have been retired for over 25 years and was really enjoying life until the death of my wife.
I remain positive in outlook and look forward to the next chapter. Just need that special person to join me on my next steps. Wherever the path may lead.
Drop me a line even if it just says no thankyou.
I won't bite and rest assured I'm not here to mess with your life.
My pics are reasonably recent and my profile pic was taken in February 2024 but somehow they never reflect the real me.
