How far would I be willing to travel for a date?

A Vacation in Spain

Would I consider sex with a lady from another Nationality?

This is a feasability study, the main factor is how close do I feel we are?

If I feel we are compatible, and we get on well online, I may consider meeting in person.

The next issue is financial, how long would it take for me to save for the travel? Being disabled, I have to consider the increased cost of health insurance.

Next is where is the lady? There are countries I wouldn't hesitate to visit, such as Spain, Italy, Portugal, Austria, the Balkans.

There are countries such as Switzerland, Holland, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark I have been to, and have no wish to revisit.

For health reasons, the Middle East is not recommended for me, nor is North Africa, or Mexico, not that I'd wish to visit Mexico. I knew two people who visited Mexico, on their return they spent weeks in hospital with food poisoning

A Vacation in Spain

 The Allure of the Older Lady

The Oxfordshire Romance

I have often considered Spain for a vacation, this month a lady who lives there contacted me via the Mature Dating App - soulmatemeets - if I wasn't trying to meet a lady in Oxfordshire, I may have tried to see her. Svetlana has all the qualities I look for in a lady, and she is interested in me

Global Warming

 The Mature Dating Trend of Alan Place

Mature Ladies

My appearance on Mature Dating Apps has caused a stir, without trying, I have caused a trend of mature ladies asking to meet me. Some are very explicit in how they view the possibility of what they see in me.

Some of the ladies have openly said, they wish to have sex with me. If I wasn't trying to form a relationship with a lady in Oxfordshire, I would be tempted, some of the ladies are to me, very beautiful, such as the lady I am chatting who lives in Spain. I do have a passport, though I haven't used it for travel, as I got to be used for identity for government purposes

Limited Appeal

 SoulMateMeets

The Appeal of Older men

My profile on mature dating apps is so popular I had to cancel my posts on Granny Site UK, and MeetwithMature, leaving me only on SoulmateMeets

Twitter is no use for my blog

 I may leave Twitter

                                                        I don't know where you are

I have no idea which service the readers are using to read the blog, but it is NOT Twitter. According to my statistics, I get so few readers on Twitter, I can count them on one hand - no joke. I think it is time I left the site for good.

Vietnam to overcome UK

Falling UK coverage

Malaysia readers are growing

Readers of my blog in the UK have fallen so low, I get more readers in both Vietnam, and Malaysia these days. If UK readers keep falling, soon there won't be any readers noted in the main list

More readers in Japan than the UK

 The blog is thriving in Asia

A Growing Concern in Asia

My blog has always failed to gather readers in the UK, this blog is thriving with readers in Asia. The UK has dropped from 3rd behind Singapore, and the USA to 6th, slighlty ahead of Germany. inbetween are Hong Kong, and Indonesia

What I don't like about Granny Site UK

 What do I find as a turn-off?

Granny Site UK

Other than the cost of being on the site, the thing I find off-putting about Granny Site UK is the ladies show everything at once. I am not against seeing some pubic hair, it does arouse me, but to sit there and show everything from the start, I do find off-putting.

What would arouse me is seeing some hair showing outside their panties

Meat Feast

 Svitlana

If Romance calls

I woke this morning feeling very aroused, this is something I never did while I was in contact with Clara, the lady who "claimed" to live in Bristol. The reason for this is I know the feelings Svitlana has for me are genuine, whereas I always had the feeling Clara was after my money. I was right, she admitted she had been telling lies

The Oxfordshire Romance

 Romance in Didcot

Svitlana

So far, things are going well for my romance with my friend, Svitlana, in Didcot in Oxfordshire. At the moment, conctact is sporadic as we chat on soulmatemeets, and I am going through a rough patch of financial issues, so I can't afford much, but things are on the rise.

I hope to Svitlana soon though

Film Noir evenings

Why do I enjoy Film Noir?

The Pat Canella Story

One of the things Clara talked me into believing was that we could enjoy some Film Noir together on an evening.

It didn't take me long to realise, she wasn't making suggestions, but going with my ideas, such as visiting Slimbridge.

Anyway, she is behind me now, though she did contact the blog last night, my reply was polite, but uninviting.

She may thibk she can get back on my good side, but I have moved on. I am not broken-hearted, I was prepared to leave her over a month ago; I was tired of her lies.

I didn't intend to find a mature lady friend, again but I did

Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust

Alan Place - Nature Lover

                                                                     A long time ago

In a few months, I may go on a short trip to a place I have wished to re-visit for such a long time, I can't recall not wanting to go, the venue is Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust. I didn't realise how close the site is to the railway station at Cam & Dursley.

The best time to go would be for my birthday in October, that is when the migrating swans visit from Russia, but it is beautiful anytime of the year.

Profile Deletion

 Granny Dating Sites

                                                        Fatal Attraction

Two weeks ago, to try an experiment which proved too successful, I added my profile to three Granny Dating Apps. I did this to see if ladies find me attractive, not as a matter of ego, only curiosity, as I neve saw myself that way.

The issue is I became so popular with older ladies, I have to delete some profiles as I cannot keep up with the requests. Also, I have made friends with a lady in Oxfordshire who wishes to meet me

My turn-on

 An aroused partner

It is the lady's choice

What ladies like about me is I show them respect, and don't push my desires. My turn-on is seeing a lady aroused, what better way to arouse a lady than to be able to help her fulfil some of her sexual desires?

I am not too old-fashioned as not to be willing to try most forms of arousal, but I do have things I won't do. I make it clear to the lady, what we do, and when we do it is her choice, and she can call a halt anytime.

The Lady's Choice

 Alan Place - Lover

An aroused partner

One of the most thrilling things for me in sex is seeing my partner aroused. I love to see a lady aroused, this is why I always try to find what the lady gets aroused by, and do my best to please her. In pleasing the lady, I get my arousal, I know that seems odd by today's norms, but the ladies enjoy being pampered, and I have made it my pleasure to please them

Sex at 70

 Romance in Didcot 

The Lady's Choice 

I would like to make love to my friend, Svitlana, by my birthday in October. As with all things I do in sex, what happens is the lady's choice, as I get my arousal seeing the lady aroused by me. If nothing too serious happens, so long as we build a friendship that lasts, I shall be pleased; the lady has made her wishes clear to me, all it needs is for us to schedule the meeting times

The first Friday i didn't walk to Whitchurch

 Asda in Bedminster

Friends with Benefits

There are two main reasons I didn't go on my regualr walk to Asda, in Whitchurch today. The main reasson is I have no money until the middle of next week. The seond reason is the lady I had planned to meet there, doesn't live in Bristol, so I have no reason to go there.

I will change my routine, so I can keep my exercise going, I will go to Asda, in Bedminster instead. If I go there, I can revist my friend's cafe - Latino Street Bites - and on a Saturday meet two friends who visit from Taunton

Friends with Benefits

 Would I consider sex with a young lady?

                                                              Offers of sex

I have two friends in Taunton, who come to Bristol on a weekend to stay with friends in Bedminster. The young lady has made it clear, she wants to have sex with me sometime, until now, I hadn't considered the option, but things have changed this week.

I do find her attractive, if I didn't I wouldn't consider the option. I am old enough to be her father, but she prefers older men as we're more considerate of a lady's desires

Heatwave

 Frostpunk

From Tropico to Frostpunk

I know it is a silly notion 😀😀. In this heatwave, I feel like playing Frostpunk rather than Tropico, to give the feeling of being cooler.

I have not given Frostpunk a proper try out, though I considered buying Frostpunk 2, a few months ago

All quiet on WhatsApp

 Disconnected but not bothered

Romance in Didcot

 Since yesterday afternoon, my WhatsApp chat has gone silent as the lady who said she was in Bristol got blocked for telling me lies for several months. I do miss our chats, but how can you trust a person who admits to misleading you, that is a huge mark of disrespect.

I now chat with a friend on SoulmateMeets, who lives in Didcot, we hope to meet, for real, in a month's time

Something I hadn't considered until now

 My Popularity on Mature Dating sites

Mature Dating

I added my profile to only two Mature Dating sites, and became engulfed with requests to meet mature ladies. It gets me thinking, "It's a good thing I didn't add it to more," I wouldn't have been able to cope.

I didn't add my profile to seek a granny for a date, but I wouldn't turn an attractive lady down.

I added my profile to find out if ladies saw me as attractive, as I have never had a high opinion of my attractiveness, which could be a reason I am popular with ladies who wish to chat online

Disconnected but not bothered

 Facebook ban

Hackers

I am still blocked on Facebook, that is not a thing which concerns me.

My Signal account got hacked last year, again it is nothing I am concered about. For some reason I am blocked on Telegram, again it is not a thing to concern me as I rarely used the site.

I may restart both my Instagram, and Zangi accounts, though Zangi atracted young ladies asking for money, ot marriage

Offers of Sex

Granny Dating 

Sex with Alan

In the last two weeks I have been offered the opportunity to have sex with several ladies, not at the same time, from the site soulmatemeets. Until yesterday, I didn't consider the option as I was trying to form a relationship with a lady who "claimed" to live in Bristol. Now that partnership is over, I am trying to form a relationship with a mature lady in Oxfordshire.

Until this new friend and I meet, which I hope will be soon, I am considering my options

Something good from my time with Clara

 Granny Sex

Would I consider making love again?

My connection with the lady "claimed" to ive in Bristol is cut, she tried four times to contact me, after I blocked her on WhatsApp, but got nowhere.

Though that experience was nasty, it did have two good poinis. Firstly, by addin my profile to to Granny Datung apps, I found older ladies find me attractive, and I made friends with a lady in Oxfordshire, who wishes to meet me

Alan Place - Fuck Buddy

Do you want a Fuck Buddy?

Would I consider sex with a young lady?

Last night, I was approached on WhatsApp by an attractive young black lady, who asked if I was interested in having sex with her.

The idea is tempting, if I wasn't trying to build a relationship with a lady who contacted me via a Mature Dating App, a few weeks ago.

Svitlana is around my age(74), and lives in Didcot, Oxfordshire

The Video chat with Grandad

 I never knew my grandparents

Grandparents are like Diamonds

The age of AI may be despised by many, but for grandchildren like my granddaughter, it is a boon.

She loves her weekly vidchat with grandad, as I tell my grandchildren, they have something I don't, memories of their grandparents, even if my wife passed away last year

My Film Noir Romance

 Romance in Whitchurch?

Romance in Didcot

My partnership / friendship with a lady who claimed to live in Bristol is over.

It ran like a classic film noir movie.

Guy with a good heart falls a pretty lady, who turns out to be a rat.

The difference is I am not heart-broken at the end, I'd decided it was over months ago, when she addmited shed been telling me lies, not that I hadn't reckoned that long before I was told. Like any good guy, I hoped things would turn out well for me, and like every dame, she betrayed me.

I'm moving on though, by adding my profile to two Mature Dating Apps, I have found ladies find me attractive, to my suprise

Senior Railcard

 Romance in Didcot

My Phobia

One of my tasks next month is to buy a Senior Railcard, so I can visit my friend, Svitlana, in Didcot, Oxfordshire. Didcot is an area I passed through many times travelling to and from the east coast when I returned to the UK from Germany, where I was stationed in the Royal Air Force, but I never visited the area

Sex with Alan

 Alan Place - Sex Object?

Alan Place - sex toy

By adding my profile to two Mature Dating Apps, I created a scenarion I never imagined.

To understand the dilemna, one must understand the reasons behind my decison to add my name to the sites. I am trying, after several months, to meet a lady who "claims" to live close to me in Bristol.

Each meeting we plan, she has an excuse not to be there, so my thoughts turned to do mature ladies find me attractive?

I added my profile, and to my suprise, many ladies do find me attractive, and some have offered to have sex with me.

As it stands, until August, I will remain loyal to the lady in Bristol, after that I have a friend in Didcot, who is wishing to meet me.

Shameless Self Promotion

 Why don't I Praise myself?

Alan Place - Award Winning Author

I used to be asked, why don't you praise your writing more?

I could do, after all I have earned three awards for my short stories, and was awarded another this month, ironically, for a book which was not mine, but I was part of a group of writers, who wrote a charity book for children.

The story on this post has garnered a lot of interest among publishers, unfortunately, I can't afford the minimum ammount for publicity.

I don't brag about my few successes, the only time I did, several writer friends in the USA stopped chatting to me, the irony is they had contracts, and qualifications, all I have is a vivid imagination, and the ability to write an engrossing story.

In short, I don't praise myself as I don't class self-praise as praise.

Why do i support CND?

 Nuclear Energy is NOT safe

S.A.L.T.

My stance on CND has not changed since my teens, no matter whether the Consevative Party, ot the Labour Party are in power, I am ardently anti-nuclear.

Since the 60s, yes that far back, there is a list of incidents, not all publicised of nuclear accidents. No ammont of theory will convince me, an element with a half-life that goes into thousands of years is safe.

A half-life is the ammount of time it takes for half of the element to be deemed "safe," what about the other half? 

The big ones such as Three Mile Island, Windscale, and Chernobyl are highlighted in our memories.

In the 60's there was almost a nuclear accident at RAF Leakenheath, when a USAAF bomber carrying bombs hit a shelter containing nuclear bombs, fortunately, the bombs were unnarmed at the time. 

There have been numerous incidents, which being minor didn't get reported, or in the case of Russia got silenced. In the mid-80s, I picked up a report from Kyev of an incident involving two trains carrying nuclear waste.

You may ask, why I omitted the Fukushima nuclear accident?

The reason is I am not sure it was an accident, the war between China and Japan still goes on, as do the wars with India and Pakistan.

You could call me a conpiracy monger, but wait?

Japan's economy is based on the sea, what better way to cripple an old enemy than to starve them, recall the Atlantic convoys of WW2, when Germany almost starved the UK into submission.

It is weird that not long before this incident COVID was released, at a time when Japan was geared for the Olympics, now do you think I am a conspiracymonger?

S.A.L.T.

 Angelina Jolie

Emma Suarez

Some people will think the post is about the little-known Angelina Jolie movie, most will think it is about the chemical element. In some ways, it is connected with chemistry, but not in the way you think.

S.A.L.T. is the acroynm for Strategic Arms Limitation Talks, in the 1970's, the USA and Russia came to the table to talk relative peace terms, they realised that unless they stood down the arms race would lead to M.A.D., not the comic, but Mutally Agreed Destruction. In the words of India Gandhi, Prime Minister of India, at the time. "You cannot shake hands with a closed fist."

You may wonder what this has to do with the image on the post?

La Zona is a film from Spain, featuring Emma Suarez, about a plot to hide news of a nuclear accident

Soviet Stupidity

 The doorway to Hell

Never forget the Science 

In 1971, in a bid to win the war, for the deepest drilling, with the USA, scientists from Russia dug a hole so deep it became known as the Doorway to Hell, for several reasons.

They forgot the basics of Science, they didn't take into consideration the further from the support, they greater the sway. Try holding a ruler at arm's length, and note the ammount of sway.

So, they didn't only FAIL to beat the record, because of the depth of the drill it snapped. Now, you have bits of broken drill so deep they can never be retrieved.

To add to the level of stupidity, without knowing what was in the pit, they throw a flare down. The pit was a Sulphur deposit. You now have a burning sulphur pit exposed to air, that glows so hot, it can be seen from space. In one way, they did win, they created a disaster far greater than the fire in Centralia, Pennsylvania. Centralia could burn out, as it is underground, the one the Russians created in Turkestan won't burn out.

The Complete Alan

 Alan Place 

I never considered myself attactive to ladies

Mature Dating

Since I aded my profile to two Mature Dating Apps, I have been engulfed by mature ladies wishing to meet me. Several have made sexual advances to me.

Before I consider the possibility, the question I ask is when did you decide you wished for sex with me? To my suprise, the most frequent reply is as soon as I saw your photograph.

I never push my appeal to ladies, I leave the choice to them. Also, I am happy to let them decide when, or if we make love, and what we do. I get my arousal seeing the lady I am with aroused.

PTSD

 Something I never considered 

Nightmares 

 Nine years ago, our house involved in a fire. For several years, i had recurring dreams of what could have happened, if i hadn't stood my ground about the flooring. The surveyors of Bristol City Council were certain the flooring was done the old way, with small pieces of wood, as my father worked for George Wimpey & Co for 0ver 25 years, I knew this style of flooring went out in the 70s, in favour of the Swedish way of building with sheets.

As the heating pipes had to be placed out of the flooring, when the fire happened, the pipes split in the heat.

I had not considered my recurring dreams were the result of PTSD, until a man online told me.

Who would i choose?

 A Double Bind 

A Double Romance

At the moment, the choice bewtween Clara in Bristol, and Svitlana in Dicot, is with Clara.

Though Clara has the edge, that can alter if I meet Svitlana. 

For Clara, she is closer, and we have been chatting since November. We chat on WhatsApp at no cost, she is younger than me (12 years younger),

Against her, she admits to telling lies, showing disrespect, she has had multiple opportunities to meet, but finds an excuse not to. She keeps asking for "petrol money," but never turns up.

For Svitlana, she's close to my age (3 years older), she appears to be teling the truth, and has not asked for money. At the moment, Svitlana has given me no reason to suspect her motives.

Against her, we chat on SoulmateMeets, which is expensive, that is something which can be chamged if we meet.Living in Dicot, she is much further away.

The amusing thing is the time it takes me to walk from Hartcliffe to Whitchurch, is the same as it takes the train to travel from Bristol Temple Meads to Didcot Parkway. 

All-in-all, it depends on how Clara moves between now and August, if our friendship lasts, or moves into the relationship she wishes.

A Double Romance

 If Romance calls

Romance in Didcot

My friend in Valencia

Some men in my position would play both ends against the middle, and hope for the best, not me.

I have two attractive mature ladies wishing to have sex with me, it would be easy to run a double life, as one lady lives in Didcot, Oxfordshire, and the other in Valencia, Spain. That is not my way, it would be unfair to the ladies, and I could lose two friends. It is a hard choice to make, both ladies I find attractive.

My double bind

Romance in Whitchurch

Romance in Didcot

My popularity on Mature Dating sites has created a problem for me.

I have two ladies who wish to start a relationship with me.

One is a lady here in Bristol, who I have been chatting to on WhatsApp since last November, but keeps refusing to meet.

The other lady lives in Didcot, and we have only been chatting a few weeks on SoulmateMeets.

Both are attractive to me, and I am attractive to them, the ladies have said they wish to meet me, and possibly later have sex. All shall be resolved soon, if my friend in Whitchurch doesn't meet me this month, I told her our questionable relationship will become a friendship

 

PayPal

 Angels 4 strays

Are people reading my Twitter posts?

If you follow my Twitter posts, you will notice, I post daily about a group of friends known as Angels 4 strays, these are friends in Brazil, who feed stray dogs on the streets. To help them, all you need do is repost a few tweets, but they do need a Paypal account as theirs got jammed, and they ran out of funds.

As an animal love, I am going to attempt to connect with Paypal, I had an account years ago, but rarely used it. If any kind soul wishes to help the group, they are looking for a Good Samaritan to open an account for them.

Classic TV series

 Alexandra Bastedo

                                               Annette Andre

                                        Age Shall not weary them 

Watching YouTube last night was a reminder that some ladies get better with age, like fine wine.

I was watching a video about the re-union of actors from Classic TV shows of the 70s. The first show was Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased), which showed how actress had Annette Andre had aged beautifully over the years. She is 86, and could show any modern actress age is no barrier to being attractive, without plastic surgery.

The second show featured was The Champions with Alexandra Bastedo, though she passed away a decade ago at the age of 67, Ms. Bastedo was as beautiful then as in her heyday. She also appeared in the series The Aphrodite Inheritance with Brian Blessed.

When you compare these ladies to the likes of Joan Collins, Ms. Collins pales in comparison. I often think, if not for her sister, Jackie Collins, Joan Collins would have been a nobody. Her roles before The Stud were mainly as an attractive young lady, roles without substance. In my opinion, there were better actresses, many, who didn't get the opportunity they deserved.

There's a fallacy that being a girl in a James Bond movie kills your career, that is TOSH. Honor Blackman remained a succesful actress until her death. Dianna Rigg had more successes after her Bond movie, Jayne Seymour had several successes in TV series in the USA. Why many weren't seen is the stayed in Europe to build a career, rather than go to Hollywood.

Many people use Ursulla Andress as an example of how James Bond can destroy a career, that is the biggest joke, Dr. No made Ursulla Andress. Before then, and after, all she was, is a low-grade actress from  Sweden, with large breasts. In my opinion, there are far better examples of beautiful actresses from Sweden

Angels Cried

Tonight, I was almost hounoured with another award, but I couldn't accept it, why?

The award for being an outstanding writer of 2026 was for a book I helped write, over 12 years ago. The book was one I wrote for while I was writing for the charity, The Peacock Writers, who are based in the USA.

To me, it would have been wrong to accept the award, as the book is not mine, and besides that, I can't afford the cost of promotion, such is the price of being an Indie Writer. The Peacocks were a group of writers in the UK, and the USA, I am the only one who never got offered a contract

Has my popularity on Mature Dating sites changed my decisions?

 Mature Dating Sites 

What is my attraction?

You may imagine knowing my popualrity on Mature Dating Apps would have changed some desicions I make, but it hasn't.

I joined two apps to verify a thoughtline, I had harboured for most of my life.

The last thing I was after was a female companion, as I think I have one in Bristol, even if she is loathe to meet. I did point out, as our friendship is not moving to the relationship she wishes, though I may not be looking for a date, if a lady asks, I shall consider the option.

I was pleasantly suprised to find mature ladies find me attractive

What is it about me?

 Sex with an older man 

Romance in Redcliffe?

This week, I was approached on WhatsApp, by a young lady who lives in Redcliffe, Bristol.

Helen has been tracking my weekly progress on my Samsung Health posts for a few weeks. I had noticed her monitoring me, but paid no attention, until she contacted me on Wednesday.

I keep coming back to the same question, why would a young lady, like Helen, wish to meet a man my age (70)? The answer I usually get is young ladies feel more loved by older men, who are not so interested in themsleves, and care for the lady

The Mature Dating Trend of Alan Place

 Granny Sex 

Grannies Friend 

The trend for seeking my attention on Mature Dating sites by older ladies, proves one thing to me, mature ladies see me as attractive, why I don't know?

My popularity online raises a problem for one lady who "claims" to live in Bristol. She has had months to prove she loves me, as she claims, yet each date we arrange, she finds an excuse to avoid. I have told her, if we don't meet by the end of July, I am no longer her exclusive friend. I am tired of going to meetings that never happen. I told her last night, I won't be 💔💔 if our friendship ends, I passed the point of caring months ago. The relationship she "claims" to want has little chance of happening.

Mature Dating Apps

 Alan Place - Sex object?

I never considered myself attractive

Though my popularity on Mature Dating Apps is growing by the day, I am still not sure why?

Is it because I am the new man on the block?

Could it be that ladies find me attractive?

Could it be ladies find my profile interesting, and wish to know the man behind the enigma?

Twice as many readers in Indonesia

More readers in Japan than the UK

Asian readers

My blog now has twice as many readers in Indonesia than in the UK, I am not suprised, I have always struggled to get readers in the UK. It also has more readers in Japan, and almost as many in Germany.

Overall, it has more readers in Asia, than anywhere, even the USA.The only continent with less readers then Europe is Scandinavia
