I'm a genuine, down-to-earth person with a good sense of humour.

Trying to make a difference. About to embark on a PhD.

Learning

(I think!) my smile.

Books: classics (Dickens, Hardy, Tolstoy, the Brontes, etc), Paul Auster, Sebastien Faulks, Tolkien, The Kite Runner, God of Small things, scientific non-fiction, Margaret Atwood, and lots more.

I have a diverse taste in film from art-house to rom-com to thriller. I love old fims (especially Some Like it Hot, Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, Hitchcock films etc), books (too many to mention)

I love good food and generally eat healthily. Favourite international cuisines include Japanese, Middle Eastern, Spanish and Thai.

You're kind & genuine with similar interests... The two most important things to me are honesty and decency. I believe you should treat others the way you wish to be treated yourself.
