ABOUT ME

All about us really....We met each other in the first semester while studying at University in England. We were good friends for the first few months and just 1 week before Petra had to go back to Germany we somehow got together ! That was back in 1993 and Carl still had another 3 years of Uni in front of him. Every semester holiday Carl would fly over to Petra in Germany and stay and work in Germany for the duration of the break. As soon as he graduated from Uni he packed his bags, said goodbye to all his family and friends and headed into the unknown.

It took a few months to land a job in a graphic design department in medical company. Petra was working within the textile industry researching into fibre mixing. That didn't work out too well because the Baverian people don't like the Swabian accent! so she went back to work for Deutsche Telekom until Lea came on the scene. Carl did some freelancing for around a year and half before moving on to internet multimedia and graphic design.

We married in 1998 and have now 2 lovely kids, Lea Louise and Finnley John.

We have now finished our self building house project and have been living there since May 2004.
