About me

Gender Male
Occupation Retired teacher
Location Birmingham, West Midlands, United Kingdom
Introduction A native Brummie, educated to the point of knowing nothing is certain and a philosophy that anything is possible. Libran and bear-like in temperament, I enjoy creating but weak in flesh I find that writing satisfies those parts that are now physically impossible.
Interests Reading, writing, music, organic gardening, cooking and internet poker at which I excel not. Learning new skills.
Favorite Movies Field of Dreams, Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources, The Man who shot Liberty Valance
Favorite Music Religious music eg Salm, Palestrina, Gregorian chant, Llama Gyerme, bluegrass and Jerry Burns, [the Glaswegian lassy], Ambient jazz and the Transatlantic Sessions.
