65 years old, have lived in Bristol my whole life.
Music-lover; gardener (subtropical / edible); re-purposer of everyday technology; plant-eater; atheist, lefty;  liberal;  environmentalist; fan of nature, science and engineering.

I am engaged in several  years of hard work so I can "retire" to coastal France (Presqu'île de Crozon) to grow veggies, and learn to swim like a dolphin and other ocean-based activities - and not least, learn to speak French a little more like Brassens and a lot less like Ted Heath, and maybe even get to understand humanity a little better.

Though fitter and healthier than most people my age,  I envisage putting my inventive skills to use in building assistive technology to keep me active for as long as possible.
