GoodCompany (53) from Essex

I have a quiet but fun-loving and good-humoured personality. I have a kind and sensitive nature and am very independent; probably brought about through living on my own for far too long. This does however have the advantage that I can cook, enjoy gardening and am well house trained! My musical tastes are broad with a strong liking for classical and I enjoy playing classical piano; like traditional Jazz too. If you follow the star signs (I don't) I am Taurus. I enjoy outdoor life having a keen interest in wildlife and the countryside. I enjoy gardening and although not very sporty, do like to go sailing and generally love to be by the sea.

My ideal woman must be a non-smoker. She would like affection, be kind, honest and good company. Enjoys good food and traditional values. Would ideally enjoy the countryside, walking and travel. I love being introduced to new things and so a prospective partner could introduce me to these, as I will always enjoy having a go at something new. Her personality might be similar to my own, that is quiet but confident and independent. She would also like to relax at home to enjoy nights in to enjoy home cooking, some wine and each other's company.
