ABOUT ME

I've lived in Bristol UK for more than 1/4 of a century. I'm friendly, outgoing, sociable, happy in my own company or with others, interesting and interested in others. I like the outdoors and prefer the country to cities, although I need a culture fix of theatre and the arts now and again.

PHILOSOPHY

Quality of everything in life, friendship, food, travel is more important than quantity
