In His Own Words
About him
Witty, funny and I can laugh at myself. I have a wide range of interests, but I like new challenges. I am flexible and I know that I am not always right.
I walk, climb and or sail (at least 3 times per week). On short walks, a marmalade tom called Leonardo and a collie called Jasper, both come with me.
I have had a successful career writing and making films. I will still work if the job is entertaining enough. So, I am solvent -but it was a lot of fun. There are adventures waiting for those with wit, intelligence and a sense of wonderment.
Did you know that there a 10 concentric circles of canals ringing Amsterdam. I am currently plotting a sailing adventure based in the Netherlands to the inland seas, the Wadden Sea and the canal system. I would welcome someone to share the adventure.
All the very best.
About his ideal match
Grace under fire. Someone who wants an exciting, loving and fulfilling life. A person who recognises that happiness is loving and being loved in equal measure. However, when all else might be exhausted kindness is the prime virtue.
Being able to laugh at yourself might be underrated, -but 'in extremis' it sure helps.
A gentle touch, a reassuring smile or a warm kiss at the right time never goes amiss -and often redeems the irredeemable. You should like working cooperatively, while sharing the plaudits and the brickbats.
Meanness of all kinds can turn beauty to ugliness, and transform the wonderful into the commonplace. It is a sleight of hand too frequently performed.
I love places that combine a rich history, architecture that incites speculation -and places to swim that don't involve too much salt water and jelly fish.
All Music fascinates me. But especially the human voice. Sung music has enormous power to lift us outside the mundane, beyond the mortal.
Do you shed a bitter, silent, tear at the despoiling of our amazing planet? And then continue to prevent it happening.
