Easy going, like fun in life, loyal . outgoing. Like both emotional and physical intimacy. I enjoy the company of family and close friends. I was born, reared and now live in the green countryside of Cork so I like being in nature, like to walk through the laneways among the trees, birds and wild animals and to listen to birds nesting and sihging in the hedgerows. Cork is a beautiful part of Ireland which is a small island country off the western coastline of Europe...the last stop before America. The next parish is Boston! I have a lively interests in sports, shopping, travelling when I can, motor cars. I also am puzzled about life in general, how and what is our destiny on this planet Earth. And how to contribute in my own small way to improving it and the people who are less fortunate than me. The photos in the "12Km walk album" show you a flavour of local life, as I experience it, during my leisure hours.

If you had 10 million dollars to spare, what would you do with it?
I would be very busy with making all my dreams come true before the big event....!I suppose treat my children to a good holiday and perhaps buy a house and a car for each of them. Invest a million for each of them for their future needs. The rest I would like to spend among the less fortunate in our world..in particular on disadvantaged children e.g the children suffering in orphanages and living on the streets. Every child deserves and needs a good start in life.

Going for the 'green' agenda..climate change and all of that...but not obsessive!!
What is your dream job?
about retiring as soon as I can and do work that will help the less fortunate in our world...that is in a few year's time when my children have graduated from university...and when I then no longer have the huge expensive fees etc to pay! Then I would like to buy a house in southern France or Spain not far from the coast. I like to watch the sun setting with a loving partner, maybe you, over the ocean. Perhaps also live in eastern Europe for a few months during the spring and autumn. And summer too as long as it stays below 30 Deg C !! But Ireland will always remain my home!
Tell us about your dream partner.
Good looking intelligent, smart, good dresser, humourous and good natured. Kind hearted and interested in living life! Someone who is not afraid to be united together in mind, emotion and and body..!! To share the ups and downs of life and for each of us to be there in support of each other and to enjoy each other and life together. Perhaps it would be good if she spoke some english. I cannot speak a word of the Russian language. And it is important to be able to communicate.....but than again, I suppose we could both learn each other's language. It doesn't always need to be spoken!!
Where do you want to live?
Close to town or city but with garden., near the coast e.g The Med or Atlantic ocean. I appreciate the power and majesty of the sea! And both the stimulating and calming effect the sea has on emotions! Much like a real woman has on a man..!!!!
