Hello there,

I'm forty-something, married, not kids or pets (unless you count the two bluetits that nest in our birdbox - 8 hours non-stop one of them spent building a nest).

I'm married to Yvonne who recently quit teaching after 25 years to become a therapist which has been her hobby for ther past 5+ years.

I drink too much at times (binge) and have no real friends in the city were I've lived since 1984 (moved here to do a degree in Fine Art) In 1999 I did a MSc in 1999 in IT and I'm currently (2008) doing a 2 year CCNA course (computer networking).

The photograph on here was taken at the fmous Raffles hotel in Singapore in 2000 en-route to Australia - a months holiday. I would like to retire to Darwen (Oz) in the next 10 years.
