[Last logged on : Within last 3 months]

Warm hearted vegetarian

I live between the mountains and the sea near Harlech (some way south of Llandudno the nearest town listed) and love walking, including with a local rambler group and with my affectionate little dog. I'm very interested in environmental issues. I'm comfortable in my own skin; shy; compassionate and caring; thinking and emotionally intelligent; honest; tactile; health conscious; spiritual aware and a Quaker.

I'm sociable and like to get to know people and listen to them talk. I enjoy discussions and a good conversation, swimming, history, and new experiences. Laughter is one of the best therapies and it's much better done together! Working on developing my inner comedian having taken myself too seriously in past.

Vegetarian for green and spiritual reasons, and tolerant of other people's food preferences.

Graduated in 2015 with postgraduate MBA with Distinction in environmental management, including dissertation on Plastic Bottle Litter on Snowdon in Wider Context.

Welsh learner looking for more practice (Dwi'n dysgu Cymraeg ac mae'n gennyf anghen sgwrsio efo pobl eraill).

Looking for friendship initially and then to see what happens, as I would like to be in a loving relationship.

Finally my response to some random comments I've seen about people's profiles:
* My age is correct - except that I've slightly adjusted my date of birth for security reasons
* Is your belly temporary from a holiday? - Well mine's not temporary, but I'm working on getting permanently back to my weight of 20+ years ago
* Politics" - I'm very interested in current affairs, particularly environment and human related issues
* Cooking - I do cook vegetarian (did cook meat for my late stroke survivor wife). I'd expect to wash up after my cooking and would be happy to wash up after the meal, but wouldn't turn down a nice volunteer!
* Dog on furniture! - Ooh er! Always used to ensure dogs kept off all furniture. However current Papillon dog so cute she's got away with a lot! But she is well behaved and furniture friendly!
* Do I tell people they're gorgeous? - I may be too shy to do so, but always believe in seeing the best in everyone and letting them know - including what I see within them.
* More cake? - Depends whether there is any cake! Cake's banned from this household under my diet (see above!

I look humour in situations.
