In His Own Words
About him
Mischievous man with a big heart, wicked sense of humour and a zest for life.
I am positive and energetic and enjoy the great outdoors, walking my elderly dog on Dartmoor
or exploring the coast as well as travelling in the UK or overseas.
Self-employed architect, landscape designer and photographer, I love to explore, keep active, and make the most of life, but also enjoy quiet nights in front of the fire with a good film or book and would love to have someone to share great moments with.
Love food, dining out, live music gigs and special events as well as chilling with a cool drink, watching the sunset or strolling somewhere gorgeous.
I have two children at university and a small dog.
I was widowed in 2021 after 35 years of happiness.
I value friendship hugely and consider trust, honesty, and openness essential.
Play badminton and golf ( occasionally) and also enjoy hiking, gardening and keeping fit.
I am creative, colourful and caring, and enjoy helping friends and family in any way I can.
I adore my children and have 13 siblings and more than 120 members in my extended family.
Inquisitive and curious, hard working and loyal, I forgive easily but rarely forget......
Where was I?
All photos are recent...2023
I might not have much on top but there's plenty between the ears, possibly even, a black hole. L
I am a bit crazy but very easy-going so would love to meet for a low-key coffee, a wander, chat, or all three to see if we have a connection.
I inherited a beautiful garden which was created by my wife, and I open to the public several times a year for charity, so a shared love of flora, fauna and related art as well as an interest in NT properties, coast and country walks would be great but not essential.
I still have all my teeth but not necessarily all my little grey cells. Some people would say that I've never had them anyway....... something about a sandwich and picnic?
I have no pre-conceptions and even less clue about how online dating works, but would love to hear from you.

Funny, caring and compassionate.
A true friend, future soulmate and travel companion.
Someone who likes to be treated well, enjoys company and being respected as an equal but is happy to voice their opinions and stand up for what they believe.
Sassy is fine with me!
