I have just rejoined and am currently updating my profile. Its February 2016.

Im not good at this really, writing my own profile I mean. Im single and dont have any children. When I say single, I was divorced over 25 years ago , just didnt meet the right person after that. I live on the borders of Greater London and Essex. Yes Im an Essex man, but not the same as any popular depiction.

Although I live in an urban area Ive realised for some time that there is still a lot of wildlife around me. My large garden is sort of designed to encourage creatures in and the balance created provides a good area to grow fruit and veg. So my neighbours might consider me rather eccentric with my veggy plot, polytunnel and ponds but they dont have such a variety of tasty organic veg to eat.

I took early retirement from my engineering career some 10 years ago and now have the luxury of being time rich. I occupy the time in different ways. The garden and allotment take up a lot of it but I can still find time to travel around this country, either walking long distance paths or holidaying whilst working for the National Trust. I do like walking and have recently completed The London Loop and have just started on The Capital Ring, a much shorter path. This year I shall also be starting The Wales Coast Path and The Thames Path. Possibly popping down to the SW Coastal Path.

Im quite practical as engineers tend to be so enjoy doing things on National Trust working holidays around the country and meeting other people on them. This year (2016) I shall be in The Lakes and near Churchill's home Chartwell in Kent.

As I am within reach of London I also seek out museums , galleries etc in town and have discovered an appreciation of some art.

Also like photography and have been to  Venice on a photography break. Venice was wonderful , even in November. Have printed up half a dozen nice shots I took and will soon by hanging them on the wall.

In the past when in full time employment I travelled to varied destinations around the world, Indonesia, India, Vietnam , Madagascaretc and have seen how other people live and have lived. I think this has made me see how lucky I am and has shaped how I live as well .

To be honest I am not seeking a serious relationship, well not at first anyway. Im looking for a friend and companion or penfriend if you live some distance away. Im quite happy with myself but it can be rather lonely visiting galleries, museums, cinema and walking by yourself and some adventures arent really possible for a singleton. So am looking for a lady to share experiances with, both mine and hers. Should anything develop from such a friendship that would be most agreeable.

Oh by the way, although my photo shows me with a pint of beer in my hand I am only a light drinker, enjoying the odd pint of real ale in a traditional pub. I dont smoke either.
