In His Own Words
About him
I have a dog and walk him regularly, watch news, documentaries, drama and snooker on TV. I also to play snooker weekly(attempt anyway), have taken up playing the guitar again in recent years and planning to play for children at church to sing as part of an evangelical Anglican church in Sandown.
I am a retired plumber; was a journeyman and a lecturer in charge of a Further Education department.
At one point I intended go aboard with a missionary organisation providing water supply and sanitation to remote areas, however this never worked out and started training, including gaining a qualification, in quantity surveying. At the same time I was part-time teaching plumbing at the local Technical College. The teaching became full-time and I did that full-time for 27 years which obviously got in the way of progressing any other career.
I have my own bungalow in lake and have never really settled down since my wife died although I have a daughter and her family living nearby.
I don't go away much but sometimes join up again with the Baptist Campers or go to Lee Abbey or Otford Hall.
I'm not to fussy about food but can't eat spicy dishes such as curry, definitely not vegetarian.
About his ideal match
Only bother if you are a committed Christian and involved in serving god in some capacity. Would ask you seriously contemplate and anticipate marriage if relationship progressed.
Interest in helping local people and serving a local church. For leisure would hope you enjoyed walking (not more than 2-3 miles these days and wildlife.
