'I'm a rare species; on the endangered list. I was born and raised in England, UK, and now live in India. My family has lived here in this district for 5 generations, and India is definitely my home, but I still enjoy taking a ride on a big jet plane and seeing the world!
I live in the jungle in Tamil Nadu, on the borders of Karnataka and Kerala, not far from Ooty and Mysore.
Nobody on earth is going to know where Udhagamandalam is - my nearest town, never mind Thottulingi - my nearest village with a shop. Thottulingi isn't even on the map, so...
I am single, my children are no longer children and have their own lives, and am looking for a soulmate with whom to share my life in the jungle.
I enjoy people who love nature and life and cooking and music and silence and are enthusiastic about waking up at dawn to see the sunrise and watch the jungle come to life.
I enjoy the company of people who are relaxed and not rushing their way through life. I like people who fall asleep when they want to, instead of forcing themselves to stay awake. I like people who dance as if there's nobody watching.
I like people who smile. I enjoy a smile. Smiles help the world to be a better place and smiles cost nothing.
Who is my soulmate?
You'll love nature, animals and country living. You'll be musical - I have the grand piano sitting here waiting for you! You'll like motorbikes, and a bit of excitement and danger in your life. You'll enjoy foreign travel and expat living. You'll be intelligent; well-educated and from a good background, and you'll "talk proper" and know the difference between a napkin and a serviette. But who knows? You may have none of those attributes, and we could be perfect for each other!
You'll also want to take your time to get to know me and see how, and if, our friendship develops. And maybe we'll become good friends...
It's wonderful here in the Tiger Reserve. There are no roads or flight-paths here, but I have the sounds of the jungle, and my music!
I retired when I was in my 40's. The jungle is the perfect place to live - if I want the big city lights, noise, bars and restaurants I can find them a few hours away! I really enjoy my visits to Bangalore for live music and dining with friends, and my shopping trips to Mysore are always fun.
Living in the jungle is amazing! I have been sitting on the verandah drinking coffee watching a leopard on the lawn, a giant squirrel in the tree and parrots, parakeets and hornbills flying around. I regularly have wild elephants in the garden!
I love Music: There are about 500 albums on my iPod (and another 120 GB on my computer). I love silence too, so music isn't 24/7.
I play the guitar: Not well, but I play it. I could do with some lessons, and I'm waiting for my grand piano to be tuned!
Photography: I once had a darkroom and developed and printed my own photographs. Now I have a computer that does the same, except that it's not dark and there's no washing up to do when you have finished. I love portrait photography as well as landscapes, architectural, etc., and use a digital technique called HDR (High Dynamic Range).
Motorcycling: I love riding my Royal Enfield motorbikes through the jungle. It's dangerous because elephants like to chase motorcycles, but it is great fun!
You're honest.
You don't have an imaginary friend called Jesus.
You think that we could become friends.
You're bored and have never sent a message to a man in a jungle before.
You can string a coherent sentence together and don't use text message language or more than one exclamation mark at the end of a sentence.
You're coming to India and would like watch the sunrise with me, a cappuccino, and Pepper, my homicidal psycho jungle cat.'
how about if i don't drink coffee, and don't know what an ipod is (exactly)?
