About me

Introduction About me? I have always had a busy demanding job alongside running a house and raising a child (oh and 2 cats and a dog) finally I have job where I do less hours (ok less money too but realise it is time to take stock.... work life balance et al) Now I have time to do the things I enjoy and quite frankly I am loving it. One of the things I had promised to do was this, my grandad's life. FAI is special to me and this diarised method of publishing allows me delve, discover and delight in all the information I have amassed over the years but piece meal and at my pace. If nobody except my family read it then that is fine because it is not about hoping to achieve awards and a wider blog audience, it is about me sharing whilst celebrating his life and what he was about :-)
Interests Family history, Pre-Raphelites my favourite being Dante Gabriel Rossetti, poetry, visiting art galleries and museums, altering books, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and simply the wonders of life and each new day seeing something new
Favorite Movies Highlander, Closer, The Departed, As Good as it Gets, Constant Gardener, Shakespeare in Love, Matrix, Bladerunner
Favorite Music Van Morrison, Chasing Cars Snow Patrol, Your Lovely to me Lucky Jim, Smooth Santana, Guns and Roses, oh and loads more
Favorite Books anything by Sebastian Faulkes particularly Bird Song, Winter in Madrid C.J. Sansom, The Courtesans Katie Hickman, Bernard Cornwalls Arthur Triology (superb writing)

If you could peer far enough into the night sky, you'd see a star in any direction you looked. When would you sleep?

I would sleep in the afternoon when the stars are sleeping too. I would never wish to miss a magical star lit sky
