Music, Movies, and Books

I really love sitting down and listening to some great music. I tend to lean towards folky acoustic artists but I also enjoy music from other genres and countries.
A good film is an absolute pleasure. I really like independent cinema but will often get drawn in by a good blockbuster too.
Reading to me is a joy. I love searching out an old book from a dusty shelf. I mostly read classic novels or anything that comes well recommend!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled all over India with my partner Rosie. We met so many amazing people, ate fantastic food and saw more temples than you can imagine

Teach, Learn, Share

Sharing skills is a great way to get to know people. I enjoy cooking, I’m always happy to learn a new recipe, or help out by chopping up some veg. I dabble in woodwork and play the guitar, not yet teaching level but I’m happy to try and share what I know. I’m always on the lookout for new skills or hobbies so if there’s anything you can teach me I’d be glad to learn
