About Me

Spent my formative years in dairy farming and would probably still be doing it if there was any money in farming! Currently working as a self-employed courier (reasonable rates for those interested!) which probably doesn't extend me as far as I should be extended but it's a comfortable living! Along the way I've worked in hardware shops and run a company selling components to the window blind trade (now there's exciting!) but on the whole, I wouldn't change my place in the rich tapestry of life...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Kate Bush! 'The Kick Inside' blew me away (and still does!) and I've always thought that Kate would be a fascinating person to share a cup of tea with! And a propos of nothing in particular, she shares exactly the same birthday as my Sister!I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!

Flora London Marathon 2008

Ever since I was lucky (?!) enough to gain a ballot entry into next years London Marathon I've been giving a lot of thought to which of the many hundreds of charities I should run on behalf of. I've d...

No fleece this year then!

Because I'm delighted (I think!) to say that my entry for next years Flora London Marathon has been accepted! I was confidently expecting to be rejected again and thus receive the fleece you get when ...

Five things you're probably better off not knowing about me!

I've been tagged by my good friend and fine upstanding person Lizzy to reveal five things about me that you're not likely to know - the worrying thing for me is that with the exception of one, they're...
