My self-summary
I'm emotionally balanced, patient, caring and witty person. I'm a good listener and a good talker. A bit of a romantic but I do have my feet on the ground. I'm well travelled and well read (a rare thing in our internet age). I love the arts (especially film, classical music and literature). Recently at the Wigmore Hall to hear Steven Osborne playing Ravel, getting along to the current Japanese film season at the NFT and have just finished Philip Roth's last novel. I've included this kind of detail to give a flavour of my specific likes. (People usually vaguely tick the box, which says interested in the arts, as if that must be obviously so, in order to profile well on this site). For me it's not an advertisement but a real passion.

Equally being very sporty is often put down. I'm not into competitive sports. And I find football boring to watch. BUT I do keep filt. Swim very regulary, walk, use my bicycle,
in the city, walk in the countryside (independently, I'm not a rambler) and work out a little, with weights, at home - just don't like the atmosphere of most gymns. Can't dance formally, alas...but dance in my own way. Generally athletic and fit. Slim, 5ft 11ins but now longer growing!

I am a writer. A published poet, short story writer and scriptwriter. I enjoy laughing (who doesn't?) and havng fun. Slightly absurd sense of humour - well I was born in Liverpool. I do welcome new people in my life. Enjoy such meetings up - it's always a pleasure to hold deep conversations about feelings and ideas. Not short of friends. But would like to have a close relationship again. Mental and physical contact. Humour and intelligence. Sharing and intimacy. All these qualities are obviously sort by most of us.So if you have an over abundance of them, and would like to share them with a decent, sane, nice man then do get in touch.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food

BOOKS - Russian classics, Philip Roth, some modern poetry, Alan Bennet, Beckett, Richard Holmes (amazing biographer)
MOVIES - lots of world cinema that I consume at the BFI Southbank (LONDON). Clint Eastwood films, Hollywood from the golden age, some horror films and SF.
Food - Japanese, Chinese, Indian and Turkish cuisine
I spend a lot of time thinking about
LIFE, LIVING IN THE MOMENT, ENJOYING THE BEAUTY OF THE NATURAL WORLD, AND JUST QUIETLY BEING!
