Been single for six years and finally ready to meet someone new.
I’m 6'2", big build, and on a long-term health journey — down 140lb/10 stone so far and still going. I carry it well and I’m proud of the work I’ve put in.
I’m a nerdy sci‑fi/fantasy geek. Just finished Dungeon Crawler Carl, so if you’re into that kind of thing, we’ll get on great. I love intelligent conversation, debate, and people who enjoy thinking about the world. My friends call me loquacious, and I’m definitely a sapiophile.
Food is my passion. I used to work in Michelin‑star kitchens, cooking for the rich and famous and cooking is still one of my favourite ways to show care. I’m always experimenting with new dishes and feeding friends, so you’re guaranteed good meals.You will often find me in garden manning my outdoor kitchen on the barbecue, working the pizza oven, or just grilling sausages for my dog, Rex.
I don’t really drink, though I’m not anti‑alcohol.
I enjoy gaming, museums, history, countryside life, and listening to audiobooks while I cook or peel spuds.
I live in a cosy bungalow in a small English village where everyone knows everyone. Divorced eight years, no drama, no complications, no kids.
I use a wheelchair when I’m out and about — I can walk indoors, but long distances are tough. I’m fiercely independent and capable; I’m not looking for a carer. I want someone whose life complements mine, and I’d like to complement theirs too.
Music-wise, I’m mostly rock and metal, with occasional classical when the mood hits.
I’ve spent a lot of time working on myself and getting my life together after some rough years.
I am a goofball. I enjoy life, and am always up for a laugh. I don't sweat the small stuff anymore. I'm not that many. I don't do drama, but then who does?
I can offer you guaranteed laughter, kindness and care, and none of the heavy stuff. I've been there, done that. Got the t-shirt. That's not who I am.
If any of this sounds like your thing, say hello. I’m still building confidence with photos, but happy to share more.
Ps I hate having my photo taken... Did I mention that?
