I prefer walking the South Downs and photographing disused farm equipment than shoving coke up my nose. I like to sit on my balcony of a summers evening drinking fine Burgundy
(in moderation) and watch the drunks stumble in the gutter. I enjoy sitting quietly in a local bar as folk tell me how 'wild' they are; all the time fondly recalling having to remind a friend that they have a needle hanging out of their foot - and might they like me to remove it? I take great joy from someone telling me they have a drink problem when they have a job, a home, a family and more than £3.75 in the bank. I love the fact that I give up smoking every day. Each and every week I fall hoplessly in love with another plant; this week it was Astelia 'silver spear'. I was pleased to recently discover that I know exactly how music works. I love everything about Wales and the Welsh but I would not fucking live there again. I am comfortable with Sussex being so fantastically Tory, when 20 years ago I would have happily blown up every village. I enjoy filing and putting stuff in order where once I would pretend none of it existed. I have great handwriting and always make sure the windows are locked when we go away - hippies might come and steal everything then spend the money on cider and Sodium Amytal. I love my wife. Er, will that do?
My Interests
I'd like to meet:
Ronnie Bird (RIP), Warden Swinfen, B C Wolverton, the person who invented the stapler, Kraftwerk's housekeeper, someone who draws maps for a living and Giotto. Nobody else really.
