Hmmmmmm.... I think I read his email the same way you do. Good that he responded, but the timing and the content don't suggest that he is really trying to cultivate anything, more that he is politely keeping in touch with a friend. I think you will have to do "something" to get him to move, or to find out if he is even interested in moving. What that is still throws me.....
I think you are doing interesting things too! Even just having the possibility of making your passion (cello) your career is really exciting! And I wish I could tutor kids in math! (Not remedial stuff, that would drive me crazy, but helping the advanced student along would be a complete blast! And I have a feeling a lot of them don't get the greatest instruction in school.)
I was thinking about your comment about being creative vs. getting better technically. It seems to me that being better technically is going to help you to be more creative, in the long run. You will understand more about how to get the most out of the instrument, and then you will be able to turn loose your creative side! (And I know you have a creative side, it comes through constantly!)
I'll visit in London!
