About Me


Ho hum - I hate writing these things... ok about me.......
er well...
I love music and books, radio 4 in the mornings and Newsnight - also anything old (particularly Paul Newman), going to gigs and drinking G&Ts in the sunshine - on the rare occasion there is any sunshine on this Godforsaken island.
Given my way I'd divide my time between Victorian England and the swinging 60s and I have two simple dreams: to own a VW campervan and to have an Orangery - oh and to be rich, successful and to have my life become the basis of some sort of religion - and not a rubbish religion like Scientology but a proper one with national holidays and presents and the like...
I am currently trying to be a writer and hock my book to every agent, publisher and random stranger I meet in Tesco and, as a consequence, am learning to love rejection to such a degree I fear I may be turning toward sadomasochism. I also drink an unhealthy amount of tea.
