ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going, open minded blah blah blah. I'm as you find me, sometimes happy sometimes happier. I work for about 6 months a year and then travel 6 months. When I'm not hitting me thumb with a hammer whilst building or drinking the profits of the pub where I used to work then I'm usually to be found in the foothills of the Himalayas where half me family live or wandering round the world somewhere.

PHILOSOPHY

Time flies and aeroplanes crash

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At the end of my stay at a Russian orphanage one of the kids bought me a watch that took him two months pocket money to save up for...it's got tanks on it and everything :o)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am able to offer any building skills time allows me to teach. Oh and if anyone wants to learn how to pull the perfect pint just ask....(Pint; official beer measurement, about 568.26125ml) I always carry a big bag of spices when travelling to cook curry as my grandmother taught me.

I would like to learn origami
