Ey up!
Simone here, your friendly neighbourhood bear. Please do not let my big beard and large build fool you: I am a big softie at heart and I cry watching ET every single time since 1995. ????
Teacher and council worker by day. When not busy with work you'll find me pottering around the garden or hiking on the Moors for a forage, but when the chill hits I retreat to my kitchen to bake goods and brew my own ale.
If you see a large guy in a lumberjack shirt, overalls and a beret bike around Boro, there's a very high chance it's me! ?? Feel free to tap on my shoulder if you see me around, always down for a chat! ??
Would love to meet new friends, with or without benefits - somebody I could be equally comfortable going out for a pint with, hitting the gym or jumping in bed for a bit of... Ahem... Cozying up! ??
I'm a massive cuddler and kisser, so if you are into the softer part of fun, I'm your man. Don't let this deceive you though: I am perfectly capable of misbehaving and, according to many, very skilled with my mouth... And I don't mean my public speaking skills! ??????
I'm a massive reader and bibliophile, with a library in excess of 3k volumes (yes, I will brag about it!), but also enjoy writing and calligraphy, which is still writing but only nicer looking. ??
My garden and my kitchen are my lab, where experiments take place and goods are baked - ask me about my lasagne and my roses (not together, of course! ??).
When I am not messing about there, I do enjoy getting crafty: I practice knitting, crochet and I am learning to sew (for now, only table cloth hems - but would love to learn how to make my own clothes!)
Finally, I am a huge chess nerd - so if you are on [hidden] hit me up there too, I am always up for a game!
