I'm a mature male who is interested in the arts e.g. the theatre, the cinema, literature etc and I write e.g. short stories, poems, etc; sometimes I perform at the local "Open Mic". I am a fan of lifelong learning and currently I attend classes in Italian, Shakespeare and European Art. I have previously studied courses on politics, economics, writing drama to name a few others. Having been bitten by the Italian bug, I have enjoyed all things Italian and visited Perugia for a month. I am fairly easy going, mix well yet at the same time I am self contained and can enjoy my own company.
