Picture dealer/framer with shop and gallery in South London, I spend half my time there and the rest working at home. I have a small house near Maldon in Essex, I love my regular driving trips to my flat in Northern Spain, staying at little French hotels with mad wallpaper, fishing, wandering, buying small antiques for my shop. I love old stone walls, red wine and cheese, historic racing cars, [I restore old cars and build 50's engines, a paying hobby that I recently turned into a new business. ). I also love Art, History, Animals, my three grown up chidren, my new grandson, music and cuddling. I used to do a little racing and some rallying and hope to do more in the future . I've been to Russia, Egypt and most of Europe. Can be amusing, can be interesting, am quite house trained, quite bright but can do dumb things at times. Play 5 a side football once a week (badly) , play guitar but not brilliantly. Like good films, Steely Dan, Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, Mowtown. Hate Celebrity anything and Thatchers plan for Brittain. . I miss the joy that a woman can bring to your life, Am quite tolerant and easy going and pretty strong mentally and can cope with most things. I fill hoover bags with clumps of black fur, twigs, leaves and other detritus brought in by my furbag cat. I'd like someone who's reasonably bright, tactile, affectionate and sexy and and has the ability to laugh at my jokes convincingly, I'm not just looking for a casual dating or just someone to do the ironing, I like a little excitement but also to watch the birds on the numerous feeders in my garden. I have a strong sense of honesty and integrity. I have a small house in a village outside Maldon in Essex with a big garden, which is unfortunate as I'm no gardener
