ABOUT ME

Arty punk type living in Sheffield after a couple of years drifting round the UK and Northern Europe. During the day I work as a journalist of sorts covering food and farming issues, though my main aim in life is to experience as much as possible and keep creating. I play drums in a DIY hardcore band.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After standing with my back to the hills with my thumb out until it was too dark to see, I fell asleep by the side of a road in South-East France, having hitched all day and only just made it out of the Italian Alps before dusk. When I woke up in the morning I realised that behind me was the most breathtaking chateau perched on top of the nearest peak. Was awesome.
