I was born in the 60’s at Ladywell Hospital Salford,Manchester. I lived with my parents Brian and Shirley and brother Ian in a typical semi detached house built in the early 1950’s.

I had a great childhood, nothing special. I loved the usual things a young lad would of done including many Action Men figures, especially the one that had moving eyes. I loved playing a game with my mates called the Six Million Dollar Man, we basically ran about fast, but in slow motion!
I loved the local chippy and have eaten many portions of Chips and Gravy. Most of all I loved riding my Chipper bike, most kids had a chopper bike but my parents didn’t want me to have that as it was a big bike?

At the age of ten, things drastically changed. My mother died after a bout of illness. My dad remarried several years later and in the early 80’s. With this remarriage and I gained a step brother Gareth, who is 10 years younger. This change, of family life contributed to my personality and was what I would describe as a monumental change!
For now, I will cut a long story short and invite you to please click through the website and follow my blogs.
This website is part of the world I wish to share and tell some stories and share some photos of the nice and fluffy part of life.
Going forward, I do wish to create a podcast and YouTube series on both my adventures and funny life stories. These will hopefully with a gentle push from someone, will follow over the next few years.
