: About Me

I live in Blanchardstown, Dublin 15, Ireland.
I am married with four children and five grand children. I have been married to Susan for the past thirty four years. We were married at a young age and now we are reaping the benefits. I am 53 in August '08 and Susan will be 52 in October '08. By todays standards we are still young. We enjoy each others company and love a weekend away together whether it's a foreign city break or a few days in this beautiful Country of Ireland.
I am a tutor in a Computer Training Company and I teach computer courses from "Introduction to Computers" right through to "Microsoft Office Specialist" (MOS). I am extremely fortunate as I truly enjoy my work.
I have always had an interest in poetry and song writing but until I joined Helium I only wrote for myself. I hope as I continue to submit my work I will grow in confidence and with a bit of hard work perhaps my material will improve. The important thing for me is that I am enjoying the experience.
