In His Own Words
About him
I have an unjaded heart.
I am a modest and self-effacing person. I am not looking for a casual relationship, but I do understand that friendship ought to blossom, before the thought of more than that can be entertained. So I would settle for sharing some good times, perhaps with that little frisson, which speaks of possibiities . . .
I am not a social butterfly, but I will not subject you to uncomfortable silences.
These things are imortant to me:
The ability to compromise.
Not to let pride stifle the potential for happiness.
To treat others as you'd hope to be treated.
Having access to uncensored news and real truth.
I am benignly left of centre. I read and contribute to The Guardian Online. I feel The Guardian provides a vital media counter balance and I feel it is a sacrosanct institution.
My ideal backdrop for a holiday is anywhere among beautiful nature, as long as it is low-key and not overrun. That is essentially the recipe for relaxation though, isn't it?

What His Friends Say
Jen said...
John's best asset is his generosity. I mean his generosity of spirit. He cares about his friends and those close to him. He puts them first and himself last. He makes sure people close to him are OK.
John is very honest, but this is tempered by his consideration for the feelings of others. It is a benign honesty.
John is a little naive and gullible, but in the nicest way possible. His naivety means what ever harsh lessons life serves up, he remains guilelessly hopeful of giving and receiving kindness.
