Genuine, honest and laid back fella. Got time to spend on getting to know you and maybe make you smile. Throw me a line. I have a good idea of the things I want to do with my new found singleness, but would like to share the adventure with someone. Enjoy eating out, mostly anything (except shellfish and bananas) but also happy to cook. Spend as much time as they want with my kids (2 teens) - don't appear to have become an embaressment to them yet. Guess I'm a little shy on first meeting, not the loudest in a crowd, but once more comfortable I'll come out of my shell, so be patient. Like to be outdoors, particularly anywhere near rivers, lakes or sea. More of a sprinkler of gifts than a showerer, but very attentive and hopefully considerate. I'm getting back into a more active life , hate the gym, into more outdoors pursuits walking, golf (any difference ?) playing and watching footbal, badmington .... Like a range of music: much of 80's and 90's, indie, rock & pop. Latest purchases Florence & the Machine, Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters, REM, The Jam - but can't dance to save my life ! If you can judge anything from the TV I watch its NCIS, Grand Designs, Mock the Week, New Tricks and Griff Rhys Jones progs. Back into going to the flicks, often with the kids and am partial to a night at the RSC. Tend to read more fiction than real life, should confess to liking some Sci-Fi but definitely not fantasy or Mills & Boon ! Tend to have radio on in the house. Finally the big project for now is searching for, buying and working on a new house. Not the full Grand Designs bit, but a project. I'm pretty ok at planing, layouts and modificaions, gonna do basic stuff myself, but really need help with interiors and decor. So if you like looking at other peoples castles I might be able to indulge you. Current smaller ambitions: get better at crosswords, learn to appreciate whisky and cook more fine food than traditional family grub.
