In His Own Words
About him
Left field leaning but with a grown up mortgage paying professional job
Living in Hackney and thereabouts for past 20 years. Love the vibe and culture and its where I feel at home
Enjoys a great pub (is it the only place people actually sit down and talk to each other these days?) quirky bars and independent local restaurants
Interested in all things creative and cultural but especially music (indie at heart I guess though far far wider these days , current bands and classic ones, a radio 6er with too many lps and cd's) , art and cinema
Likes to be intrigued and mentally stretched
Keep fit...cycle run gym swim (not all at same time!)
Likes cooking and good food in or out, fresh quality ingredients cooked simply
Very open minded. Live and let live attitude. passionate about things
Wants to get out there and enjoy all the things London has to offer with a few (ok lots of) laughs on the way
Open and honest, wears heart on sleeve
Down to earth doesn't myself too seriously
Bit of a chameleon- Just as at home in the opera house as the chip shop
Tactile gets childishly excited about little things like finding a good new cafe/pub or band
Lots of love to give hoping to find some in return eventually but the path to that might be a bit winding with a few cul de sacs
Official lover of fruit based sweets (fruit gums, sports mix)
3 kids, don't live with me (grown up pretty much now mind nearly15 / 18 / 21) and love kids so someone with kids is great by me. Kidhaters need not apply though
Lets go out and paint the town red or a bit orange at least??
About his ideal match
Looking for someone cultured, an arts and creative lover, intelligent, down to earth, open minded and adventurous in everything.
Feels comfortable with who shes is and her good and bad points
Warm and hopefully tactile (someone who jumps onto my lap and throws her arms around my neck)
who can waste hours talking rubbish in a good pub just the two of us or with a group of our friends
Someone who looks up at me from reading a book and with a smile makes me think everyone is all right in the world at this minute
Healthy and with the energy to do stuff not waste all day in bed unless its for regular appropriately lazy loveins
Someone to share a bottle of wine with of an evening
Enjoys escaping to the world outside London whether that's a weekend in Gloucestershire or dreaming about that next trip to New York when funds permit
Golly that a long wish list isnt it....just lie and say yeah thats me!!
