How does one do justice to himself in a few simple words?...life ain't that easy I'm afraid. I am a person with a diverse range of interests including almost anything mechanical, woodworking, volunteer emergency service and community activities. Love a good book, mostly blokey stuff, like the odd movie but would LOVE to share these things with a caring and genuine lady.

I pride myself with being honest, upfront, genuine and compassionate and value these qualities in others. My only company at present is my two faithful dogs, Buffy and Darcy, who are friendly, playful and, like me, love a walk on the beach.

My musical tastes are quite wide but I dislike head thumping stuff. Enjoy most things from light classical to country, popular to orchestral and really enjoy brass bands and march music.

What makes me unique?...exactly what makes us all unique...wouldn't it be a sad, sad place if we were all the same...yes indeed, we are all unique in our own special ways and these ways must be experienced rather than described.

Are you the person to share those unique things with me?

First date?...well once again how can we be specific at this point?...depends on interests. Maybe dinner and a movie or show, maybe something different...who knows, just let it happen.
