I took early retirement from SEN Teaching in 2020. I currently live in the Blackpool area but have also lived in East Lancashire. I like metal music (classic or 'old school' exreme). I also like early indie bands, rock and 80s pop. I like live music and tend to see bands in Manchester, but I have also seen bands in Germany and the Czech Republic(Brutal Assault). I have two adult daughters who I see regularly but they don't live with me. I also like going to the gym (not obsessively), walking in the countryside, football and exploring new places. I am honest, laid back, fairly intelligent and hopefully good company. I would like to meet a nice woman for friendship/romance. If you are honest and like my profile please do get in touch.
