"Coffee and Cake "
Well-travelled and well-seasoned man looking for an emotionally mature rebel to share the creative and loving aspects of life. I returned from a long stint in Brazil two years back but still rather feel between two worlds. Currently living in North London But about to move down to Eastbourne. Too many years in the big smoke.
I’m an author, guitarist, teacher and carpenter. I have a daughter and three gorgeous grand daughters in Brazil and a grown up son in Canterbury. I love swimming, cycling, walking, reading, writing, discussion, composing songs, house-renovation, cooking, eating out, good wine and craft beer, cinema and music, travel and hot weather, mountains, forests and oceans.
I’m hoping for some good companionship and maybe some unexpected discoveries: Someone to share songs, writing, reading, psychological perspectives and . . . pancakes doused in grand marnier and melted dark chocolate on a cold Sunday morning. If you also like strong coffee and Shiraz and the occasional bowl of steaming porridge with syrup, you may be the one.
I’m quite an organised person with regard the little things, neat and tidy. I like to keep fit and healthy: Am not very materialistic but I've done ok, taking financial stability as a personal responsibility. I believe in justice, fairness, integrity, respect and a good dose of humour. Still have all my teeth!
