In His Own Words
About him
Fairly quiet until you get to know me. Like to consider myself Intelligent, and faithful and committed in a relationship.
Like good food, particularly mediterranean style, and like to cook these styles as well, usually from scratch, although simple egg, beans and chips goes down well sometimes. Although not a true vegetarian, I do not eat any meat or poultry.
Like dogs in particular. Had 4 rescues from Kefallonia and enjoy walking them in different locations, particularly on a beach. Only 2 left now.
Love the sun, makes me feel good, but equally like a nice walk in the rain, sometimes refreshing and dogs need exercising regardless of weather. Believer in that there is no bad weather, just bad clothes.
That said, not really one for formal dress i.e. Suits and Ties. Wore these for my work. Have no need now as I visit more laid back restaurants, pubs and venues.
Currently trying to get my garden in shape, after extensive alterations to my kitchen and outside patio. Would like to think I am good at it however my fingers are not that green.
Played a lot of squash when younger and dealing with some stiff joints now as a result, but still like to think I am active. I can't understand how I look in the mirror as a 27 year old, but this older bloke is looking back at me...
Like music, mainly Rock (not Metal) but a bit more eclectic now that I am older. Used to go to a lot of gigs when younger, but not so much now and would love to get out there a bit more. Like to watch a good film on TV, varied taste, Comedy, Thrillers, Sci Fi, nice in front of a good woodburner.
Like good coffee, and a glass of wine also a good beer but nothing excessive.
Have travelled a lot in Europe for my job, including Russia and Ukraine... shame what is happening there. Also visited US for business and Argentina also.
Still like travelling and like to drive places as well, although just acquired a seniors rail card with a view of seing more of Scotland on long weekends.
About his ideal match
Would like to meet someone with similar tastes and views on life, although not exactly the same tastes. Someone who likes to go out for a casual, relaxed meal, but is equally content to have a good dinner in. It would be nice to be introduced to different experiences. Don't have to agree on everything, but be mostly tolerant of others opinions and views on life. Dog lover prefferred.
