About Me

  • About Me: I'm 56 years old, I've lived in a faded seaside town on the south coast of England called Hastings for 36 years. I have four grown up children by my first wife all of whom live in this same town whichI'm very happy about. I married again and moved up to East Anglia for 10 unsuccessful religious years. I returned, divorced and disillusioned to Hastings in 2000. I've lived in the same flat here ever since, I love being by the sea. It's on top of a big hill and you can see for 20 miles west out of my back windows. Hastings Old Town is 10 minutes away down the hill. I'm medically retired now. I have a male partner now, my Reg. We've been together for four years and we love and are well suited to each other. He's in his 50's too. Both our families have been accepting of our relationship which is fortunate. We both enjoy digital photography and like to go for PhotoWalks.
