I Love an all over tan.

I am no longer working (I can't yet accept the word "retired"!), but am otherwise very active, and most people don't know that I'm a naturist, though I don't hide the fact if the subject comes up.

I have a background in engineering, so I'm always fascinated by practical things, and love mechanical things - cars, railways, planes, etc, all the typical male things! I'm interested in history, particularly of and since the Industrial Revolution. I also enjoy a range of music, from 60s/70s rock, to folk, blues and classical. My Desert Island Discs would include Beethoven's 9th symphony, and Won't get fooled again, by The Who!

I'm married for the second time, and my wife knows that I enjoy being naked and going to nudist beaches. To an extent, she tolerates me being naked at home, but doesn't really "get it" and isn't keen to be a nudist. Whilst I would love her to be more adventurous, I don't think it's going to happen, and now I'm thinking that to satisfy my keenness to spend more time naked, I'm going to have to do it more by myself.

I've been to the BN nudist swim in London, which I enjoyed - it felt wonderful to be part of a large group of naked people. I have also been a fairly regular attender at the Noah's Ark swim in Ewell, Surrey, and sometimes visit Silverleigh naturist spa. I'm now hoping to expand my nudist horizons by meeting more people in social situations, either individually or in small or large groups. I'm not sure how to rationalise this with my wife yet though! Through NC, I'm hoping to make contact with other like-minded people in the area, and maybe more widely.

I've been a (basic) member of this site for a while, but am only now starting to use it properly. I'm hoping to do some postings in the Forum, and if anyone would care to make contact, I would welcome it.

Hoping to hear from you, and to being a good member of the NC community.
