About Me

As Shaun says..."Lets go"Currently living and working in Newcastle upon Tyne. North East England is lovely,three months of winter and nine months of crap weather.Oh and wind that blows in all directions.Work for a utility company. Have a loving family and a few close friends.My family are the most precious people,we are very close -though not by location sadly,and i love them dearly.Interests are listed on here already.Have a major passion for walking,though don't get to do as much as i'd like.Believe that The Lake District is heaven on earth,i see life with a greater clarity there.The lakes are closly followed by the West coast of Scotland.If you know me well,you know my favourite place with the white cottage, where the blue Atlantic sparkles and the skies are endless.Love photography,though too self critical about my own work.Like to paint but have to be in the mood.Watercolours mainly,find oils impossible-plus the smell like you're painting in a fuel station.Music is a real passion.Been trying to learn the guitar for a while now,sounds awful though!I have bighands an long fingers so it should be easy right? no!!! Favourite artists are listed ,feel i've missed some off-apologies to whoever.Marillion are main favourite.The most underated group ever.Loved since the start,Steve Hogarth the ultimate frontman.If your a fan,you'll know what the family is,the great weekends,and the passion.Football team is Stockport County,my home town.Have given both pain and pleasure over the years,sadly too much pain over recent seasons.Though Jim Gannon is doing a fine job with such limited resources.Unlike the Theatre of Sheep up the road.Hate the money obsessed Premier League,looking forward to the day it goes tits up.Love the English weather,though partial to two weeks of sun in Ibiza. Love the variety of weather,thunder storms,lightning,autumn mists,snow etc-nothing better than walking in snow under clear blue skies-,love the different skies you see through different weather conditions. Amazed at people who take no notice of this and don't see natural beauty around them.It's right in front of you!! just open your eyes and see. Films are a big passion,Kevin Spacey favourite actor. Love reading what i'm told are violent thrillers.Think Shaun Hutson is sick but love every page of every book..Would still pick James Herbert first though.Can't decide who was the most beautiful,Grace Kelly or Audrey Hepburn.Mostly Kelly but if I watch Roman Holiday or Breakfast at Tiffanys i'm all over the place!!! People tell me that i'm kind and generous, have a good sense of humour and fun,and good company.But's that other people for you!!!Staring to waffle now, so will end with some brief things i like to do. See the pyramids.Go to New York.Go to New Zealand but not Australia.Walk the great wall of China.Dive in the Great Barrier Reef.Run the London marathon.Sail a boat across the Atlantic Ocean.Have dinner with Meg Ryan.Visit Egypt,Write a novel,visit Easter Island. Be happy in life and do all that was wished and expected of me. oh and learn to spell!!!!message me
