: About Me

Hi my name is Chris Emmerson Geordie to one and all, simply because the north east was my birthplace.
I have lived in Hull East Yorkshire for many years, my wife is from Hull and my kids where born here.
Hull gets a lot of bad press, but people should come and visit the place if they have not been here before. it has some amazing history.
I have worked in the building trade all of my life, but have had to chuck it, because my creaky old knees have gave up on me ahh.
To be fair I wish I had got out of the game years ago because now I do what I have always wanted to do and that is write. My other passion is pets I have a website

Nothing of the sort, months earlier I had set myself up with one of those strawberry tubs, you know the ones you can plant all the way down the sides.
