Mostly classical music - especially piano. Pop music is mainly AOR, including UK groups like Coldplay and Keane. Old favourites include Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). Now into downloading tracks to play on my music system.

Mostly like historic films - particular favourites include 'Gladiator' and 'Master and Commander', and on the lighter side 'Pirates of the Caribbean'.

A fair balance between fiction and non-fiction. I'm not big on sci-fi, but have recently enjoyed Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' trilogy. Just about to start the 'Tales of the City' series from Armistead Maupin. Non-fiction includes history and biography, and Richard Dawkins et al.

I have what is for me a reasonably sized garden, including an area for vegetables. But that doesn't make me a keen or knowledgeable gardener. But on a sunny day, I do like sitting in it, enjoying the tranquil views I have, to the background sound effects of the cattle and sheep in the adjacent fields. Now, doesn't that sound idyllic?

Single guy living in a rural part of South West England. I run a small advertising business, from home. Enjoy scuba diving, mountain biking, walking - especially with my dog Toby.
