In His Own Words
About Him
My Dream ...
is a simple one ...
admittedly with a few challenges ...
but if it's God's Plan ...
then it will happen ...
I have no ideas of growing old ...
nor by myself ...
and ideally your future plans and dreams ...
are similar to mine ...
with obvious need for compromise ...
from both sides
A bit more about me ...
Grew up in Natal and learnt to love the beach and surfing ... Still do !!!
Rugby and Athletics were instilled in me from an early age
and have remained part of my life ever since
having been very fortunate to take part at senior levels
with world class team mates and coaches
Still support the Sharks !!!
I am a Distance Runner ... and parkrun'ner ...
Spent many years working with the Zulu Nation ...
and hopefully 'did my bit' to make meaningful and positive changes in their lives
Have two wonderful children and four grand children ...
from a 25 year marriage that ended in '95
Left SA in '97 after being disillusioned ...
with the unacceptable levels of crime and violence ...
as well as 'the change' in our country which is still not good and equal for ALL ...
and after 6 years in an overcrowded UK ...
moved to South France in '03 and loved it there ...
but after a holiday back in SA in early 2009 ...
realised that it's impossible to get 'Africa out of my blood'
that and the advent of the 'recession' ...
so I decided to move back 'home' !!! 'for better or worse'
Am passionate about the outdoors, the bush, the sun, walking, hiking ...
my family of pets, wildlife, photography, travelling ...
as well as living a relaxed stress free 'green' life
Good health is much more important than wealth ...
Still need to do the 'Cape to Cairo' my way !!!
I'm quite up-to-date with my computing skills ...
and a regular on the internet and social media ...
I am pretty handy with my hands, after renovating properties in South France ...
where I lived for 6 years ...
enjoy cooking, making an effort to eat healthily ...
as well as being 'up' on my wines ...
About His Ideal Match
Like me you currently live a healthy life
and mainly prefer fresh fruit, salads and veggies
with a glass or two of wine each day
You are a very nice, relaxed, easy going, tactile, sexy lady
who will be happy to walk the dogs with me holding hands
whilst we smell the roses
You love pets and wildlife
have a love for the outdoors, the bush
and think positively
Like me you are NOT into the 'soaps' nor too much TV
NOR 'games'
but prefer to rather read a good book
listen to good music
or just spend some quiet time together
Really just want to spend the rest of my life with someone
who wants to be totally relaxed, non demanding, and as stress free as possible
Like you I am looking for my real 'soul mate'
someone who will be my best friend, lover and more !!!
I started my career as a farmer
and I would very much like it the end the same way
either on a small farm or small-holding
the more remote the better
where we can 'live off the land'
in every sense of the word
generating our own needs for food, water and energy
in an organic and sustainable way
Since returning to SA I have started 'GreenAgric'
trying to encourage the farming community away from chemicals
and more towards sustainable methods and practices
but 'times are very tough' in business right now
However I am no longer motivated by money
so if you are looking for a wealthy partner please pass me by
Having made and lost my 'fortune' prior to '97
I look to my future 'partner for life' to be the one who is secure financially
a bit of a 'role reversal' I know, but then why not ???
But don't get me wrong, as I am NOT after your money NOR your assets
but rather your body, soul and mind
So if you already own a small farm or a small-holding
or have the finances and desire of owning such a property
want to live in the bush as much as I do
and can see that we have 'a lot in common'
then please make contact with me
Thank You
PS ... It would also be Great if you would like to live the 'Endless Summer' ...
7 months in SA ... 5 in South France ... each year ...
