2013 Summary to get to the point.....
==========================
Single, sane, solvent, young 49, no dependants or skeletons, looking for female counterpart. In other words, no kids, probably professional, looking for a LTR. It's not rocket science...
==========================

Hello!
I'm a young 48, sane, and solvent. I work in the entertainment business, hence I keep odd hours - see "Friday night" question! I live to the West of, but generally work in London so feel free to ignore "Reading"!

I know photos are essential; anybody curious I shall direct to my professional website where there are photos-a-plenty!

I like being by the water, and intend to live by the sea one day. I have a thing for boats, photography, and the countryside. I'm a member of the NT, can make a fine rhubarb crumble, and tinker in my garden on a regular basis.

If you want to slip into something shiny, and put on some 6 inch heels, I could probably take a decent photo of you...

What more is there to know?

Digging an escape tunnel that will end in a clifftop house overlooking the sea. Although that does sound like I'm running away - which I'm not!

Listening, smiling, and cunning plans! Mending things, especially if they have a plug on them! Being calm in a crisis.
Allegedly good at advising on shoe purchases.

As you asked, my eyes. Then my bottom. So I'm told....

Books: Currently historical (naval) novels.
Food: All sorts, especially Italian and Indian
Movies: If the names Tarantino, Besson, or Scott appear on the credits, I'll probably enjoy it!

Music, open countryside, friends, hot showers, laptop, one more....

How to rig the National Lottery. And whether the weedkiller has worked on the lawn. Rock and roll.......

Working / eating / drinking / relaxing. Delete where (un)desirable.

Where shall we start?

You're smart and stylish, and think that vanilla is not the only option......
