Oh Ian (68) from Leicestershire

About me

I'm told I'm friendly and open, easy to get on with, and can be soppily romantic. I would consider myself to be loyal, caring and considerate. I believe others would too! I like eating out and enjoying a glass of wine in good company, but sometimes a meal in and a film and bottle of wine together is even better.

What else. Oh yes I play harmonica and sing in a band, but before you get too impressed or scared we do it mainly for fun, just the odd gig to keep us on our toes. We started off with oldies but have added in some newer stuff like America, Chasing Cars, Valerie and Who Knew. You can hear the band here: www.myspace.com/mainstreetuk
And I've been learning to play guitar, after a fashion - I enjoy one or two pub acoustic groups.

I have a great son (grown up) and a stepdaughter (ditto) who is my bestest friend. I enjoy meeting new people and experiencing all that life has to offer. I'm enjoying MSE and the new friends I'm making.

Some erudite quotations for you...

"Even a stopped clock is right twice a day."

"When the good times come around, they gallop in like wild horses. You just try to stay on them for as long as you can. And when they throw you off....you just wait in the shade until they come around again." Jimmy Buffet

and how about this...

If I could write words
Like leaves on an autumn forest floor,
What a bonfire my letters would make.
If I could speak words of water,
You would drown when I said
"I love you."
Spike Milligan

I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky; I left my shoes and socks there - I wonder if they're dry?.
