In His Own Words
About him
It's hard to write about yourself, but other people have described me as compassionate, committed, self-confident, loyal and active (wow!?). I am quite a positive and social creature and enjoy meeting new people.
I love music - alot. I'm totally passionate about authentic expression, whether it's Punk Rock, John Coltrane or J.S. Bach.
Creative Man - I'm always making something. I've got my own business doing creative work, and value the freedom that it gives me: "Ain't no 9 to 5!".
Fave things include going to gigs, concerts, caffs, cinemas, exhibitions and pubs. But I'm also keen on the pleasures of the table. Really enjoy cooking, stuff from various cultures around the world and my 'elaborate' breakfasts have been very well received!
I'm also an outdoors sort of chap, into hiking, I've done a number of long distance walks and I keep fit - go running and cycle everywhere... that is everywhere in, er, cycling distance. Something I find very exciting - wild camping! Or, as we used to call it, off-site camping. Moving through the landscape, with all you need on your back... communing with nature... I'll stick a picture up.
History is all crucially interesting to me, but I don't just sit around reading about it - I'm active in archaeology, and can often be found down a hole digging up the past.
I could go on, but specific cultural refs can be a barrier as well as a point of connection and anyway, I wanna hear what you like to do!
There's too much greyness, too much drab conformity in modern life, so let's kick out the mediocre, and go for the real thing! (... and have a laugh along the way).
About his ideal match
So what sort of person am I looking for? Well... WANTED: Rebel Girl! Now before you switch off, what is this rebellion of which he writes? Well, what I really mean is someone who is an original thinker, in one way or another: maybe you love being in the natural world, or are strong on politics or the world of ideas, or maybe you just do a lot of cake baking or something... that in some sense or other you aren't just a slave to convention.

What His Friends Say
Derek said...
What can I say about Tony?
I've known him for about 17 years all told and I've valued that friendship for all of that time.
So, what's he like? Well, he's self-effacing and self-assured simultaneously, which is quite a feat. Mind you, he combines being highly methodical with being very spontaneous very well so...
Unusually for a chap, he is an authentically attentive listener who hasn't had to practice that particular skill. I suspect it comes from his interest in people and their worlds. Tony is not the moody, silent type but neither is he prone to talking before he's thought about what he's going to say or why he's saying it.
Self-confident and of a generally happy disposition, Tony is self-organised and self-motivated, which might explain why he's been happy running his own business for the last 8 years. The life of the artisan suits him as he's allowed to give his creativity free reign.
Tony is a physically active person, who likes nothing better than to linger over a freshly brewed pot of tea, so in some ways a paradox. Few people have a deeper knowledge of where the best spots for a picnic in East Anglia, or where to get the best cuppa. He's found them all on his bike rides, being a keen cyclist.
Tony's youthful looks have caused comment, but we don't know if he's made some pact with the devil or if he's got a portrait in the attic!
He's a hands-on kind of guy and his culinary imagination is only matched by what's in his fridge at any time. His banana curry is phenomenal and his Sunday morning extravaganzas are a thing of legend. When he's not in the kitchen, you might also find him down a hole digging up the past - at an archaeological site!
He's cultured without being overly cultivated and knowledgeable without being arrogant about it.
Other characteristics that I feel are valuable and valued by Tony include positivity, initiative, compassion and commitment and loyalty.
Did I say he speaks fluent Spanish?
