About Alan

Hi. Solvent, educated, loyal, honest, articulate, caring chap with a good sense of humour looking for a serious relationship. <br>During the day I am a hard working professional, running a successful business. Evenings and weekends, well anything goes, preferably something that involves a degree of adrenalin, culture and/or laughter. <br><br>Active pursuits include climbing (indoor climbing centre), skiing - try to go at least twice per year, surfing (useless at it, need more sunny weekends), horse riding (even more useless, need a horse that responds like a car), push bikes, motor bikes, even a spot of dancing. I have a great group of friends, most of whom are married or with partners. You know how it is, turning up at parties as the odd one out - again! I am well house trained and know which end of a duster to hold. <br><br>As well as all of the active stuff, I equally enjoy all those special things in life including companionship, beach and countryside walks, music of all description, weekends away, meals out, nights in, discussion/conversation, culture, the arts architecture lazy sundays with the papers and roaring fires, sunday lunch with friends that starts at noon and continues well in to the evening, flying a kite, rockpools, hiding in a tent when it is teaming with rain, thunderstorms, warm sunshine, cosmopolitan cafes, original olde english pubs, good food, but by no means least - people!! It's never quite as much fun without a partner - is it!! <br><br>Things that I would like to achieve include learning to play the piano - gave up years ago so little chance of that. Speak french fluently - need to find a suitable tutor. Take 6 - 12 months out to travel around Asia & Australia. To finish my CPD course whilst I can still make use of it. Not to take life too seriously, to make a positive difference to those around me - an all round good egg really! If you fancy meeting up for a coffee, then drop me a line - I promise to reply. Nothing ventured - nothing gained! <br><br>
