About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Of to take a gander at our planet for a couple of years…give or take a few years.

ABOUT ME

ME! I like to try my hand at almost everything active and creative. I am an artist and a keen mountaineer among a lot of other things. I never like taking myself to seriously and will always try see the good. But don’t get me wrong that doesn’t always happen. Oh yeah everyone will probably say this but I LOVE music. It is the one this that can take full control of my attention. Anyhow I could write on and on but Its dull writing about yourself…I am a face to face kind of person.

PHILOSOPHY

My mother always said ‘If in doubt, leave it out’. I do like this an adopt this practice when I see fit however it isn’t full proof…sorry mum.

Its also impossible to sneeze with your eyes open. FACT!
