About Me

I love my life, what more can I say than that. I am a mixed bag, often independant and like to be in my own little world, but at the same time. love to spend time with friends and having a laugh about random things. You can never meet enough new people on your travels. It creates an experience to remember and enjoy a moment with someone. Had a reality check at the end of 2007 and have realised there is so much more out there, people to meet and things to do. Why be sleepy and lazy, I can do that when I fall apart when I am old once I have fulfilled my ambitions in life!!! I have a list of things that I want to complete and I am working towards achieving each and everyone of them. Some of them easy such as hiking up hills to climbing mountains such as Everest and Kilimanjaro for charity.Also starting a degree that I should have started when I left college!!I am also using this page to promote my little photography business. All my pictures have a meaning to me that captures a moment in my life. Whether its view from the top of a hill, or a cloud formation at dusk. Its a moment i would like to share. If anyone is interested please contact me with what you would like and I can see what I can do. I am still negotiating prices and finishes!! Enjoy

My Interests

Mountain biking, got the scars to prove it!!Rock climbing Badminton, rugby, bowling, playing guitar, photography, and kite flying!, going down the gym, camping, hiking, live music, enjoying the outdoors with a big smile on my face!! :) Ow and the odd drink down the pub or "quiet" night in with a film, home made meal(yes I can cook) and a few drinks.
