In His Own Words
About him
Interesting question- I must resist the obvious reply "because they are desperate". I have recently (July 2011) moved to Cardigan and I'm looking for an intelligent articulate lady with a good education and varied interests, including the sciences (but not just the sciences).If you are looking for a similar man why not get in touch. I'm a retired academic (maths) with two dogs (labradors), an overgrown garden (& orchard- do you know anything about making cider?) and a lot of books - you have been warned. I keep myself busy walking the dogs (Meg and Maisie- mother and daughter), currently working on a project "Short Walks for Older Dogs" - which applies to both of us.
This combines with my interest in photography- you can get a better idea of what interests me photographically from my galleries on Flickr - anything from ice hockey to my dogs Meg and Maisie, music from Gilbert and Sullivan operas to jazz and blues at the local bar in Cardigan! In the garden the current project, more of an aim than an objective, is to create an area of wildflower meadow- anything to keep the weeds down.
When I have a newspaper (rarely) I turn to the puzzles (sudoku and similar, easy crossword- can't do cryptic!) after skimming the headlines- but I'm not as obsessed as I used to be (been there, proved I can do it, got the T-shirt- well actually no, some of the few souvenir T-shirts I don't have!)
About his ideal match
I'm looking for an intelligent articulate lady, with a good education and varied interests (not necessarily a copy of my own interests though it would help if we had something in common to talk about!) and a sense of humour (if she's going to get along with me). Preferably living within 50 miles or so of Cardigan so we can meet casually for coffee, drinks, meal, cinema...
