I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I generally find myself trying terminally to be silly, to dampen the fact i spent far too many years taking life and myself far too seriously.
I love my Garden, I speak for the trees for the trees have no tongues and i'm telling you sir at the top of my lungs - I love to dance to country music and shuffle to early soul, i love to try and hula - abonibably
I love my band, and the men in it. We Are in the process of changing our name amidst a hilarious legal battle with a UK Rapper
I love to be shown Classic, I love to be shown Contemporary, rarely do i like things that try to be both.
There was once a London Strolling associtation where members would meet on street corners and exchange strolling routes around the city at night - I wish there still was one.
I will cook for anyone with the greatest of pleasure, but it might not always be a success - however usually it's pretty good. Blowing ones own trumpet is something someone told me once that i should practice more, but i more comfortably parp on my bugle from time to time.
