I'm a fairly level headed professional guy still with ambition to seek out, develop & reap life's opportunities. Loving, caring, supportive,loyal and responsible. Extremely creative. Great sense of humour. Many interests - lots of sports, cinema, reading (mainly non-fiction & biographies), theatre, museums, architecture, classic cars, some eating places, travel. I have discovered live music at my local drinking establishment (pub) where musicians jam together, which is truly amazing!
MY pic was taken at the Olympic Beach Volley Ball @ Horse Guards Parade Central London. It was a fantastic event & venue right by No.10 Downing Street but it rained all day (and hasn't stopped since)! UPDATE (i) Eight months later it's still raining! UPDATE (ii) And now its snowing! UPDATE (iii) The sun's shining - really! UPDATE (iv) It's snowing today and its April 4th! UPDATE (v) I'm stopping all this weather stuff now. People keep asking me if it is going to rain or snow? What am I a Weatherman? I'm a Surveyor - I know about buildings !!!!

I have reached the age where i am looking for new & different opportunities. For me now it's about sensible diet, fitness, Life Long Learning, seeing the world and giving back to Society.

Solving other people's problems!

A rather large mop of white hair (thinking of getting a hair cut - watch this space)! UPDATE (i) - I'm still thinking! UPDATE (ii) - I may decide to speak to the barber as my sons are hypercritical! UPDATE (iii) Its all chopped off !!!! UPDATE (iv) And now I have bought some styling serum! UPDATE (v) It's growing - fast! UPDATE (vi) The serum's brilliant! UPDATE (vii) It's still brilliant! UPDATE (viii) It's growing very fast into a decent length which is great for my son's wedding on Sunday March 10th! UPDATE (ix) It's back to a mop - the serum better do its job! UPDATE (x) The wedding has come & gone and very nice too! I hear you say did anybody come up to me and ask what serum I use? Are you mad?????? !!!! UPDATE (xi) Someone did !!!

Love, laughter, music, 78% dark chocolate (two squares a day), my smartphone and my books.

If only.....................................

Generally I like to chill out and relax. The phone is always busy. When my sons come for dinner I make sure there is great food and lots of banter! UPDATE (i) I'm reviewing all this as I have a new daughter-in-law!

I'll share three things with you:

1. I'm a leg man !!!!!

2. I just love porridge (oatmeal) raspberries & a little cinnamon every morning for breakfast. It sets me up for the day and best of all it doesn't stick in my throat, answer me back or make unreasonable demands!

3. As I particularly like Americans I have decided to purchase an English to American dictionary with correct pronounciations. So, is it tomato or tomato? We both know the answer - it's TOMATO !!!

Please keep everything to yourself otherwise they will all be at it!

........... you are a fantastic girl with intelligence, passion & a sense of adventure coupled with family values, a responsiblity to Society & to our Planet. Oh yes -- lots of fun too!
