: About Me

After many years of travelling the planet (mostly by way of the golden ticket I call my right thumb!) I eventually settled down at the age of 41 and married my lovely wife Katrina in September last year.

I now live in the West of Scotland where the air is clean, the mountains are mountains and, allegedly, the sheep are afraid!

I have been messing around with words from an early age and enjoy simple, non contrived poetry.

I am a keen photographer and also like to cook.

Hopefully my words will strike a chord with some of you.

Take care,

Dave

You're born. You live. You die. THE END What should you do With the time that you spend Upon this ovoid Blue-green planet It can't be all there ...
