I'm superficially quite reserved, more of an observer than a participant, but appearances can be deceptive... Quite perceptive, a wide variety of interests, both cerebral & activity-focussed. I love the outdoors & keeping fit. I'm interested in politics & geopolitics, animals (I'm a dog & a cat person - they're not mutually exclusive). I'm good company, & consider myself well-read, but not in a stuffy way. I'm passionate about things that are close to my heart, equally passionate about things that aren't! People who know me would probably say that loyalty is my strongest character trait...
