Returning to flying and ownership

Good Morning,

I am looking for a little advice. My current job as a biz jet pilot has taken me away from the lighter end of aviation and I am now missing it.

My plan is to buy, build or maybe restore a light aircraft, microlight, or gyro.

It my be capable of the following:
Carrying me (I weigh 120kg, although this is going down!)
Carrying a passenger
Fuel for around an hour + reserve
Low running cost
Ok on longer grass strips
VFR and day only is fine
C of A, permit or BMAA are all fine

All suggestions on aircraft type and advice is welcome!

Thanks

Piperx
