Apparently I'm eclectic and charismatic, easy going and generally a happy chap. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, getting out into the country for walks, discovering hidden treasures in London, and playing board games with good company.

I love music and love getting to live gigs, especially folk music - the Green Man festival in Wales has become a must do each year. Good food, good wine, a real ale and great company are also important.

I enjoy cycling and hiking and recently got into indoor rock climbing which I really enjoy. I'm not really a runner, but I did my first 10k earlier last year and enjoyed it more than I expected to. Plan to try again this year, though maybe not in fancy dress this time...

I'm looking for someone likeminded - inteligent, happy, fun and easygoing to explore London and further afield with - I've been here for more than 4 years and still don't feel like I properly know this place. Ideally I'd like to meet someone who enjoys good music and whose idea of a good night doesn't always involve being sat in front of the TV.

I live with a kitten and two rabbits (as well as 3 humans) so I'm looking for someone who likes animals too!

I've been in London for around 4 years, despite always saying I would never move to the city. It's quickly become home and I love it, though I do dream about moving back to the country some day.

I'm a fundraiser and recently moved to a science education charity, which feels like a really good move.

Come the weekend I enjoy spending time with friends - an afternoon gig, a walk along the river or getting out on the bikes on a nice day. Now the summer is with us evenings and weekends will regularly be spent working on the garden again!

Smiling (but not when being photograped), navigating London by foot, getting to know people

My mop of ginger hair is generally the first thing (or more often than not at the moment my wooly hat!), hopefully then people notice my smile. People are far too grumpy in London most of the time!

My favourite authors currently are Christopher Brookmyre, P.G. Woodehouse and John Buchan - I like a mystery, and I like a bit of comedy mixed in.
I'm not really into films, though my childhood favourite is and will always be the Muppets Christmas Carol. I can't NOT sing along and know it pretty much word for word.
I love music and live gigs. My music taste tends to be folky and I love going to gigs at the Union Chapel in Islington. I'm currently listening to lots of This is the Kit, Rozi Plain and the Mull Historical Society. I also really like the Alt-J Album - a masterpiece in my mind.
I'll eat pretty much anything - I love a good curry, Mexican, Thai and a proper pie. I enjoy cooking but am not overly confident in the kitchen.

What I'm having for dinner and what I will be doing at the weekend.

If I'm not at a gig with friends, typically I am at home, with friends and housemates, probably playing a board game with a glass of wine and the kitten causing chaos...

I have an irrational fear of the sheep in the attic...
