Who am I according to friends I'm a kind caring funny person . Despite adversity I still come up smiling.I really enjoy meeting new people and widening my circle of mates. I'm short and overwieght I fight the flab daily but fail all the time yet I gave up smoking dead easyThat was 11yrs ago. I feel lucky to have so much good in my life . I now have 5 super grandchildren whose lives I'm much involved with, they and their parents live near me although I have a married daughter living in london I don't get to see as much of her as I wish as they are both working long hours .I love going to the theatre either locally up making the trip up to town I'm planning to see War Horse in the next month. Went Evita it was great a crowd of us joined in the chanting Evita Evita on her return from europe the cast loved it and encouraged us to participate.Went see Benjimen Zepherian I think thats how you spell it I fell in love with him and his poetry trouble is hes a vegan and i like red meat rare. I read alot all sorts prefer trillers or Agatha Christie type detective stories. I paint a little but have found bereavement makes for an uncalm mind so you cann't concentrate on the job in hand. I don't enjoy the gym but love walking with my hounds. What am I looking for -- some one who is on my wave length has the same values A partner for social functions I hate going alone to the odd wedding or dinner party I'll still drive I'm not looking for a chauffeur.I love watching rugby so I hope you do too. I thought I had met my other half loving kind gentle But that was a kick up the bum waiting to teach me that if it looks that good something will go wrong I wish I knew what it was So I'm out in the wide world looking for mister nice guy
