I think I'm a nice bloke. Bit of a softie. Good fun to be around with a good sense of humour. I'm originally from Essex, but living in rural Mid Wales - a place I really really love. It's good for the soul around here. The air is fresh, the views are stunning and the people are so warm; I love it. Hope to find someone who likes spending time in the mountains :o)

Eek - life is a bit bonkers at the moment, but that is a *much* longer story than I am going to fit into this lickle box. I was finishing writing up my Ph.D... and doing other academicy stuff... and then 2012 happened, which was a mad crazy, and pretty rotten year (apart from that all of my years have been generally pretty awesome - I am no gloom merchant)... so just dealing with the repercussions from that. Will take 2013 (probably) to sort things out and finish writing up and getting life back on track - but after that, 2014 is due to be amazing.
My lovely Mum is living with my grandparents because of a major accident, so I'm here on my own, feeding the cats, and managing the building project we were working on together... which is both incredibly exciting, but also a bit stressful.

True renaissance man - pretty fab a most things, a bit of a polymath and modest to boot :op

I'm a munter... but hey... they soon get over it when they realise how lovely I am :op

The beautiful scenery of Wales.
Lovely people all around me.
My cats... who keep me sane.
Oil heater (until central heating is finished / alternative heat source found)
Car... living in a rural area tricky without it.
You: probably, if we get on.

Lot's of things in ridiculous detail. I think I sometimes get lost in the detail and neglect the bigger picture. Spend a lot of time thinking about DIY and building jobs, how they're going to get done, what I need to get... that sort of thing... practical stuff. Also spend a lot of time thinking about my Ph.D which I *need* to finish writing.... *eek*

Either in Tafarn Dwynant or the Slaters Arms... generally nursing a Diet Coke and nothing more exciting...

I think that I'm happy to admit anything.. I'm quite an open book; just ask :o)

'If you like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain
If you like making love at midnight in the dunes on the cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for write to me and escape'
