Description

Hello, I'm Jim, I am 50 years old, although I am told I look and act rather younger than that.
I am not so well travelled, although I have been to Canada, the US, France and Norway, Sweden and Finland. I am hoping to spend a month in France this autumn/ winter to catch some better weather and further enjoy rural culture. I am a country person, I dislike city life.
It would be great to spend more time in a rural area where I can put my considerable construction skills to work. I am a cabinetmaker and period property restorer by trade. I also have skills in stonework, tiling and other aspects of building.
I am a fairly shy character and not into parties and drinking, I am though very sociable with people who share my values and calm approach! I dislike drug use!
So, if you feel that I am your kind of person with similar values, please get in touch 😀
What else can I mention? I am good with children and older people, I guess that I'm patient, tolerant and kind, would still like to be a teacher!
I like working with animals too and seem to have a way of calming them too. Anything horticultural appeals to me, as well as being a pretty useful car mechanic and welder.
