In His Own Words
About him
Thanks for dropping by on the dark sea of lost Souls cast adrift in the ether void here ...
I recently relocated to a village in beautiful mid-Somerset to a house with a view of Glastonbury Tor. To widen my circle one of my daughters suggested this forum. I am divorced with two adult girls who live independently and work in the UK as a VP of a thriving US Publishing Company.
Suffice to say I am reasonably articulate, house trained, educated, humane, well travelled, grounded and solvent, having enjoyed a rewarding career in book publishing in the UK and USA.
I am a keen amateur photographer and watercolourist (see pics) of landscape and botanicals. Currently researching a book on Coleridge in the West Country I take an interest in history, and architecture.
An active member of a local tennis club I'm keen on hiking and sailing. I travel abroad quite often for work / recreation and enjoy car touring on the continent especially Italy.. I hold a BA in History from Bristol Uni. Post University I trained at the Iron Mill Institute in Exeter in various psychometrics eg Enneagram, MBTi and at the Centre for Creative Leadership in Brussels. In business I specialise in publishing acquisitions and Leadership strategy in the UK and USA.

About his ideal match
The woman I am seeking is wise enough to know: finding a viable man in the looking glass world of online dating is simply a case of: 'very large haystack, very small needle'. The optimal position is healthy agnosticism, along lines of : try to find some common ground to base a friendly connection first, then see if a deeper one follows.
Women I find attractive have at least some of these attributes : feminine, spark/wit, reliable, humane, balanced, perceptive, organised, solvent, articulate, creative, motivated, resourceful, able to travel, may play racquet sports and enjoys the outdoors.
I'm best matched to someone of graduate level or above who enjoys life relatively free of hassle. Unkeen on pet obsessives or smoke and mirrors, an abundance of which lurks on both sides of the gender fence in here.
So... if this flickers a sudden semaphore light out of the gloom, hoist sails and mark my bearing ...
