CURRENT MISSION

To contiue to learn and grow and spread the love

ABOUT ME

I am an old boy now - being 50 although I still find it hard to reconcile this fact. Luckily my outlook retains a bit of childishness and a sense of fun. I appreciate the beauty in the world and in the people my path crosses. I've lived in Edinburgh for 20 years and it still manages to surprise me, with its beauty.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life in the now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When in South Africa my brother and I were so lucky to see a leopard. We were driving through a safari park heading back to camp for the night, our last night on safari, and the only animal of the big 5 we had not seen was the leopard. Amazingly, this beautiful she cat just walked in front of our car for about 1/2 kilometer, shaking her ass at us as she walked. Wowzer.
