Hi! Thanks for having a look at me! It's difficult to fit a diverse life into this box, however, to give you a flavour, I'm an ex carpenter, ex fireman, ex IT (analyst programmer), more recently sold motorcycles, my lifelong passion and still ride my trusty steed regularly! Was made redundant last year and re-invented myself yet again after having completed a NEBOSH course (look it up;-). Now working as a risk assessor in the film industry. Live in west London between Heathrow and Ealing on a narrowboat which is very cosy and warm in the winetr with the woodburner going 24/7, enhanced with a bottle (or three) of Cabernet Syrah by my side ... care to join me and talk into the wee hours about everything and nothing?

Have a cheeky, witty and wicked sense of humour. Can of course do serious when needed. Interesting and interested and can be deep. Lots to say but thrive on what others have to say moreso ... deep into the night if I don't have to be up at 6am!

I love all music except for country. Have a friend who is an opera singer and enjoy listening to him practice when we're not riding our bikes together. I enjoy anything which touches the senses and soul, whether visual or audible and always keen to explore and learn new experiences.

Nuff for now but if you like the idea of laughing, loving and crying into my big strong arms, (hehe) then let's find out about each other! You can never have enough 'special' friends in life so won't rule out making one or two new one's from here if nothing else.

If you've got this far (then we must be compatible as you must be mad!) and like what you see, taking into account my being as unphotogenic as it gets, then I would love to hear from you. xx

Chat, laugh (hopefully), coffee, cake if you're a good girl, wine or beer or simply a stroll somewhere beautiful. If you're brave enough we could even go for a country ride on my bike. For the less trusting, maybe a trip along the canal on my boat/home?

So true - "our ideals are like the stars to a seafaring man, he will never succeed in touching them but use them as a guide to reach his destiny"

AND - "Whenever life hands you lemons - grab the salt and add the tequila"
