| Introduction | After my ten-year journey my wife Cilla and I 'settled' in a little coastal town near San Francisco, but life continued to be adventurous. We raised two boys, built a horse-drawn gypsy waggon, with intent to travel the US in it (an unrequited dream) lived in many beautiful homes in our home-town, peppered life's mundanities by producing shows, playing in bands, even traveling the world at times with the boys,If anyone wants to know more they may read my book - that's what this blog is all about anyway. |
