About Me

I like pizza and fresh fruit. My favourite drinks are Elderflower and Ginger. The herb I use most in cooking is Oregano and the spice Cumin. I dislike mean & narrow minded-ness, and spitting. I do not laugh at jokes but have a sense of humour. I have been gardener, gravedigger, stonemason, potter, bricklayer, dancer, social support and health care worker, silkscreen printer, shop assistant, pharmacy assistant. People see me as easy going, hard working; my wife would disagree with them. Most of my interests are covered across the way. If you want to know more come by and act reciprocally.Please note that the order of the top friends will be random or by who has been last added or most interacted with, and does not reflect the amount I love you. Unless of course you are groovy &/or extremely attractive and send me 5 Euros.I may not reciprocate any comments left, that does not mean that I do not appreciate you or the comments.

I wish as a kid that I had had hero's, it would have helped in my self development but it just kind of passed me by.

Michael Palin, Dr Jonathan Miller, Paul Klee, Sir David Attenborough.
