In His Own Words
About him
Ex-Master at a busy boy's school in the North West of England near the Lake District where I spent my time, outside the classroom, running a rowing club, a CCF RN Section as well as working as an Assistant Housemaster on a boarding house. I moved back home in 2015 to West Cumbria .
At the moment, I have a large house and garden to sort out, coach University rowers and instruct on national sailing/powerboating courses for the CCF RN. I enjoy cycling around the local valleys, walking on the nearby beach and keeping fit on rowing ergo/bike turbo trainer.
I used to race dinghies and cruise the Western Isles each summer with friends. I like wildlife/nature and appreciate culture/science and the Arts - art, literature and an eclectic music taste listening from Radio 2 and 3 to Celtic music. It would be nice to find someone to share experiences with. I'm happy going for a walk through a wood or along a beach and appreciate wildlife and nature. I take an interest in most things and can do a bit of salsa! I can get on with people of all walks of life and am comfortable in rowing kit, or DIY/gardening gear as well as casual clothes or jacket and tie or Naval uniform. I'm equally at home in the town or country but need to be not too far away from the sea or hills.
I try to aspire to Rudyard Kipling's poem "If" but probably fall short. I'm a romantic at heart (not only international rugby anthems can bring a tear to my eye!), and sensitive enough to appreciate detail and surroundings.
About his ideal match
I am essentially looking for a relationship, marriage and to have a family of my own. I would be prepared to re-locate for that.
It would be nice to have someone to fall in love with, would help if you are intelligent and mutually supportive. A warm heart and a nice smile would be great. You need to be happy in the outdoors, on a fell or beach and don't mind getting wet occassionally! If you have your own talent, athletic or artistic, can sing or paint or cook or make a good cake, that's a bonus! I find an interest in most things, even if it is doing other people's DIY or gardening.
I once saw an advert on TV where a sailor's woman turned out in a wet and windy night to guide her partner and his boat safely into port using the car headlights as navigation. I don't court danger but I am looking for someone who, in a similar way, will be share the good times and rough timesand be there when 'the chips are down' and who is trustworthy, has a strong intelligent head and a warm heart. A current photo is a must.
