In His Own Words

About him

I've had an interesting life, and a job I loved - every day a different challenge, with sailing training stints every year in the Western Isles in lieu of holidays, all very exciting but somehow managing to overlook "normal" things like marriage and kids.

I suppose I thought I'd get around to it all eventually, but eventually has arrived and I'm still single, with a great love of theatre (watching and doing), cooking and eating out, going on long walks with a welcoming pub and sparkling conversation at the end of them....and no-one to do it all with, unless you'd like to disagree..!

Deep down I'm a very loving, loyal and highly tactile bloke with no-one to put his arms around and care for... are you a good fit for the space between my arms and chest?

I've found that one of life's great satisfactions is being able to "fix" a wide variety of things. Restoring entropy, finding out how things work, putting life back into broken toys, clocks and radios gives me a real "rosy glow" feeling. I've even been known to put up shelves...

I still love the Western Isles but lately discovered that there is interesting stuff in the opposite direction, in France, Italy and Turkey - enjoy putting rather basic language skills to the test in the Med rather than the Atlantic! (I did have a go at Gaelic but I didn't get very far!). Rome is a favourite - history, sunshine and wonderful food, with Venice a close runner-up, but I'd like to explore Tuscany and Campania as well - with the right companion, of course!

Could it be you - are you my Sweet Synergy ? Am I yours? Only one way to find out!! (Some of the photos are from a while ago - it's obvious which ones!)

About his ideal match

Someone who will laugh at me and with me, at herself and in the face of adversity.

Someone who will not always agree with my point of view and will argue fiercely for her own.

A partner and a friend with intelligence, integrity and interests that go beyond job and home, who has a fascination for how things, and the world, work.

Someone who hasn't served their time and practically given up, but who thinks the best bits are just around the corner, preferably with me!

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love. (I borrowed that thought from somewhere, but it seems about right, so I thought I'd share it)
