Trying to update my profile but AFF system is not very user friendly! Having to do it one word at a time :-/ I’m back on this site after taking a break. It can be a bit crazy on here and I find that I need a rest from time to time. I’m not looking for a long term relationship (or marriage!) but not interested in one night stands either. I like to keep fit although I’m definitely not a gym bunny. I prefer walking/hiking preferably with good scenery, good company and good conversation. I also like the cinema (I’m a big fan of Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode), cooking (but need a lot more practice) and dogs although I’m currently dogless (is that even a word?!) I’m semi-retired and like to travel, global pandemics permitting. I spend quite a bit of time in London but also have houses in the Cotswolds and Spain. Although this site sometimes feels like the Wild West I try to keep things real, honest and respectful. Happy to share more information and photos available on request. I would love to chat to genuine people who would like to meet for coffee and cake to see if there is a spark. Thank you for reading this rambling introduction. If you’ve got this far without being completely turned off (or swiping left… or is it right?!) then feel free to let me know your favourite cake! At least this helps me sift out the fakes and the bots… and the non-cake lovers!
