In His Own Words
About him
Oh, I don't know, I'm only a bloke, somewhat torn between a rural future and a suburban present. My chickens and I constantly debate whether to relocate to the sweet, gentle dales of Northumberland, to live out our days under big skies, where the grouse gurgle, the curlews shriek, the lapwings buzz, the snipe do that weird thing that snipe do, where the weather is everything, where we'd feel in our bones the turning of the seasons, spinning, as the singer sang, into infinity.
I'd be able finally to set up the astronomical telescope, go for night walks, dig a frog pond, have owls in the outhouse. But then again, out there, where, I wonder, would I find the essentials of life, like a good hot yoga class, a bicycle repair shop, interesting bread. And supposing there were a little patch of land. Even with a home-working day job, where would I find the time to sow the seeds, plant the trees, shear the sheep, mend the fences.
Thus are our lives blighted by indecision.
About his ideal match
Made of sugar and spice, vanilla if not saffron, she'll nevertheless look good in heavy rain. She will have winsome qualities such as some idea how to sex a hedgehog, the ability to live with the thermostat at less than 20C, or singing in tune. She'll probably not waste her life in front of TV soaps, and will shake her head in bewilderment at Brexiteers.
