In His Own Words
About Him
Right about me, from the UK, trained as a chef but, never became a chef, love to cook now. Had a high powered job with tons of responsibility and not enough hours in the day.
Retired in 2004 and moved to Cape Town.
I am pretty sure I am younger than I am, I'm very active, jogging, cycling, gym, love to swim in the sea. Played sport most of life, rugby to a high level, cycled the Alps, long-distance canoeing, marathons and triathlons, hang on, I have just worked out why my knees ache now.
Travelled all my life, been to most places except the South Sea Islands, but believe me, they are on a list somewhere waiting to be ticked off. Greenland, Everest, Mongolia, Japan even New Zealand and most places in between.
Enjoy long-distance motorbiking, the entire length of route 66, Delhi to Kathmandu, all over Southern Africa and 16,500 km around Europe in 10 weeks. Hang on I have just worked out why my hips ache now.
Since retiring, I have taken up photography, writing and art, I love all three.
Things work out well when I travel, as it's great for photography, writing and art. It's also fantastic for food and my other passion music.
But what about me, well I am a hopeless romantic, can and often do cry at the drop of a hat. I love to cook for that special person and I love to write for that special person. That said I am very organised and a planner, oh yes and my cup is half full.
Okay, I was not sure if I should write something short, or war and peace, so I have settled for what is 289 words exactly.
About His Ideal Match
Well straight away I am looking for that special person to cook for, that special person to write to, preferably the same person. Someone creative, someone who likes to travel and experience new things, push the envelope from time to time. Someone active, dare I say sporty. Someone to hold hands with, watching the fire, staring at the sea or sitting on a plane.
Through life we keep getting dealt new hands of cards, what is important is how we play those cards.
