About Me

Well what can I say. the hedonistic rollercoaster of my youth has abruptly ended and I have somehow ended up on the comfy carousel of married life with a long suffering and highly tolerant wife. I have two fantastic kids who I love dearly and I am currently enjoying* an unhealthy diet of : sporadic artworks involving chalk, daytime naps, regular snacktimes and copious hours of watching dayglo coloured hyper do-gooders who are a dab hand at kung-fu-ness and saving the earth from ultimate destruction (again) In a previous life I was a brand development manager, but debating around a table about the reach of a brand to your key demographics compared with the understandings of a 3 year old debating about why they CANNOT pour juice down the back of the TV or put cookies into the laptop is just what life is all about...*enjoying is not to be taken as eating the children
