In His Own Words
About him
A typical week might involve attending an art gallery, movie or play and perhaps finding somewhere for dinner and a glass of something wonderful. Mornings tend to be given over to writing and research on various topics connected to economics of wellbeing. Most of this is done in London though additionally I spend some time each week in Oxford attending life writing talks and college dinners.
I like walking - in cities, on beaches (Achill and Provincetown are favourites) and occasionally take yoga classes, swim or cycle. I particularly value activities that involve interesting groups including an occasional book group as well as some voluntary/trustee work.
My cultural life is rich and varied rather than overly formal and I look forward to sharing it with someone who has a rich life of their own. I've written/edited a few books and am currently working on projects relating to relationships, compassion, freedom and painting. Pleased to have been described as fun and a good travel companion (I have travelled widely) - despite the unpromising start of a DPhil in economics from Oxford University. (I feel I owe much of who I am to my mother who gave me drive as well an interest in connecting with others.)
Interested in a LTR primarily, I recognise that models are changing and hope to meet someone who values both independence and warmth as well as lives that share laughter and intimacy.
I'm open to ideas but I like to start with a call and then if we might be on the same page a quick drink at the O and C : open season thereafter!
About his ideal match
Kindness essential - almost everything else negotiable!
Someone who finds pleasure in culture and is discerning, curious, alive, generous of spirit and interested in family.
Perhaps also a person drawn to language, who likes to make a contribution and has some style.
In her relationship, a woman who values independence while appreciating companionship, warmth and intimacy.
Someone grounded but at the same not afraid to say what delights!
