About Me

I like: putting on brand new pairs of socks. Waking up in a new town or country. Olde words.I dislike: treading in the little tiny drops of water in the bathroom which make your sock damp and uncomfortable but not wet enough to warrant a change of pairs. Especially if they are a brand new pair I have just put on.I am: an aspiring Gentleman. This, my life-long vocation, I take ever-so seriously. Ever-so.I am not: likely to get any socks for Christmas now I've written this.
