We (John and Fern) are currently cycling from the UK to South East Asia. It's a trip of a lifetime and we hope to meet some friendly people along the way. We look forward to meeting you. Kind Regards, J&F

ABOUT ME

i reckon i've got a good sense of a good thing, if that makes sense! dont take anything too seriously, and have no intention of 'settling down' or 'finding myself'. i dislike traffic lights. i like to walk in the woods, explore my local area and find little places i can show people. i like the word 'nice'. what's it all about?- life, the universe and everything? i'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

PHILOSOPHY

'maniana', as the spanish say (tomorrow). i'll try most things once, if it doesn't kill me.
