"taking it seriously but its got to be fun, right? "

The quick headlines are working in education (late career change from print publishing), in London since my 20’s; step father to 3 grown-ups; a country boy from North of Scotland; close friends dispersed around the world, looking for someone to share my life with and who wants me in theirs. In thrall to life-long passions of a good pair of shoes, modern architecture, great cities, food and wine and, primarily, music. Soul, jazz, English pop, lovers’ rock, Americana – I could go on and I probably will. Tom Waits, Paul Weller, Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder, Amy W. But also new things via Radio 6 or Robert Elms . Other everyday interests are cooking (which I do almost every day), eating out (see previous entry), cycling, and a great US box set. I can hit a tennis ball and golf ball without much obvious technique. I do however love skiing which I took up at 30 so can never get really good but the fresh air, the mountains, the thrill of it. Annual trip at least. English graduate so have always and will always read the best fiction I can find. Also, love a crime novel if well written. Unlikely to get on with Tories (but it has been known). Can tend toward cynical but, I hope, laced with some humour. Generally suspicious of lying on a crowded beach, over-organised fun, religion. Want to live the best I can. ..

No allergies but no actual pets these days. Did have a rabbit who I really liked. But he was one of the top rabbits.
