May Is The Nicest Month

I’m intuitive, honest, loyal, caring, perceptive, sensitive, fun, open-minded, social, and have great ambitions.
I have loads of energy (incl. heat – if you like someone with warm hands, I'm your man!. When not writing and working I enjoy art galleries, being in nature, films, reading, gardening, making stuff, cooking, and fantastic nonsense! Oh yes, connecting with people, I'm a connector. My degree was in dada and surrealism (how could one be better prepared to face the world?!), yet I write and teach (at uni) about techy eco-stuff and absorb the New Scientist for fun. So... a mixed bag?
I'm emotionally intelligent, with a good understanding of who I am, and endless fascination with discussing what makes people tick. I will ramble with you in mountains, valleys and on beaches, even though I am mildly disabled – which just means I can't run. It encourages me to keep fit and healthy – good diet, cycling, swimming, chi gung – and makes me value difference and inclusion, seeing the world a different way.
As a job that feels like fun I churn out novels, scripts, poetry, songs,  environmental books and journalism, teach creative writing and 'one planet' living. I think creatively, and always have projects on the go.
Tastes: wide-ranging and tolerant; random things include:
Modern jazz, klezmer, Kate Tempest, Bowie, Nigel Kennedy, etc.
Modern art. Old art. Just back from the Venice Biennale.
Fiction: Ali Smith, Cormac McCarthy, David Mitchell, much, much more
Parties!
Playing music: guitar, piano, bass.
My electric car. My non-electric cat.
Politics: green, XR, inclusive, social(ist), consensus, evidence-based
Growing: veg and fruit and flowers. Cooking.
Good conversation over a pint or coffee.
Exploring: cities and the wild.
My sons have grown up and are living great lives abroad.
