In His Own Words
About him
About Me:
Born and bred in South Wales, I’m a proud Welshman who read science at university and spent over thirty rewarding years in a challenging and fulfilling career. Since retirement, I’ve stayed active by working part-time as a teacher of adults. It’s a wonderful way to keep my mind sharp and stay socially engaged, while still giving me plenty of free time to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. I am financially solvent, own my own home, and am entirely independent.
My wife passed away almost three years ago. After taking the necessary time to grieve, heal, and adjust, I now feel genuinely ready to step out, find companionship, and share the future with someone special again.
Family is important to me. My two adult children are well-established and have long since flown the nest, and I am a very proud grandfather who travels to visit my grandchildren as often as I can.
What I’m Looking For:
I value intelligence, kindness, and a good sense of humour. I’m looking for an independent, down-to-earth woman who values family, is proud of the life she has built, and is ready to create new memories together. Whether it's exploring a scenic coastal path, enjoying a nice meal out, or just sharing a quiet evening with a glass of red and great conversation, I'm looking for a genuine connection built on friendship and mutual respect.
Let’s Chat:
If you could take a scenic trip to the coast this weekend, where would we be heading?
