Date men from Canada / British Columbia / North Saanich, 70 year old

Date a man from North Saanich, Canada. My friends and family think that I am reasonably attractive but most of them need glasses, either to wear or to drink. I love laughter and people who are positive with a zest for living.
Although I am in good physical shape, I have COPD which limits some activities. I love animals and working in my garden. I enjoy entertaining and have become interested in cooking and preparing specialty dishes.
Although retired, I have become quite successful as an artist painting animals and landscapes.
Don't be put off by my honesty about having COPD. I have been stable for over five years, using very little medication. I am strong and capable of doing most things but limited in others. i.e Running, hiking.
I used to play rugby, was a competitive swimmer, skied most BC mountains and achieved a 9 handicap at golf, including a much prized trophy for a hole-in-one.

Meet a soulmate from North Saanich, Canada. I beleive life is not about how high you climb or how fast you run but how well you bounce. Do not frett or dispair over a relationship that did not work, think how fortunate you are to have loved and been loved in return. I look at trials and tribulations as the spices that make life so tastey. I was married for 23 trs. and am blessed with a loving daughter and son 35 & 32 , both living and working out of town. I have had a few relationships in the past years but am still hopeful of finding that one special sweetheart who likes to be adored, does not insist on leading nor wants to be lead but rather walkes beside me as an equal to share in all lifes wonders, the joy and the pain, the laughfter and the sorrow, the successes as well as the mistakes, never judgemental always compassionate. I am a kindhearted, loving, passionate man who loves to pamper. My background ties me closley to the sea as well as farm/ranch/horses. I am looking for a permanent, committed relationship.
