Kind educated man seeks soulmate I'm a professional musician, well educated and intelligent. This year I am moving abroad for a more peaceful less stressful life and I am hoping to find someone who will be happy to join me, giving up the rat race and finding more enjoyable things to do.

I enjoy and take an interest in astronomy, art galleries, exhibitions, geology, travel, gardening, theatre and medicine and I am deeply interested in history and law.

I love good conversation with friends and my sense of humour is spontaneous, essential dry wit, and is slightly off the wall with a good dose of observational sarcasm thrown in, for when it is needed of course. Overall I am active and prefer to be outside doing things rather than sat at home slumped in front of a TV.

I read Private Eye, various science magazines on occasions, listen to World Service, Radio 3 Radio 4 and things like "I'm sorry I haven't a clue", and keep up with the news once a day. I am kind and considerate and I value honesty and trust above all else.

Books: I prefer factual ones on subjects like astronomy, the sciences, history, biographies on important historical people such as Issac Newton or Einstein. I've read plenty of books by Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett am at home reading about astrophysics as I am a new biography on a major composer.
