About Me

Well, what about me? I have been in a state of flux for months, maybe years. I now realise just what it is I would like out of life. Whether or not this can come to fruition, only time will tell. I will try to make things happen but cannot control outside influences. Away from all this, I consider myself to be a kind and loyal friend to those who know me. If you think otherwise, let me know and I'll put you right ;-) I am not the person I used to be and hopefully, in the coming months, certain aspects of my persona will be a thing of the past and unrecognisable to both myself and others. Fox Mulder once said 'I want to believe'; I now know I do. If all of this makes no sense to you whatsoever, then do not worry about it. There's plenty of other profiles to browse through.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

There are a number of people I would like to have met. People like William Cobbett, Celia Fiennes, William Wilberforce, Thomas Pennant to name but a few. As far as people I may get to meet, then Nicholas Crane (again), Dr Alice Roberts, Sir Rannulph Fiennes, the Dalai Lama, Neil Oliver, Peter Owen-Jones and Monty Halls are top of the list.
