Me - 2003

 
Hiya! and welcome to my website.  On this site I'll be telling you about myself and what I do and I will share some of my interests and ideas.
 
I work in North Wales and live on the Isle of Anglesey although I spent the earliest years of my life in the North East of England in a village called Boldon.  I also used to live and work for the Youth Hostels Association (YHA) at the Youth Hostel in Carter Lane, in the City of London (near St. Paul's Cathedral).  I also lived in Watford, Hertfordshire and a village called Slapton near Leighton Buzzard on the Bedfordshire/Buckinghamshire border.
 
*Why Derryclare Lough? - Well this is one of our favourite views in Ireland where we like to go on holiday.  Just sit there and feel the quiet!

My Hobbies

Beer - brewing
Mrs Isabella Beeton in 1859 described beer as "nothing more than a weak ale".  Important for her were "transparency of colour and an agreeable bitterness of taste ... made from the best pale malt or amber and malt.  As a beverage it is agreeable when fresh; but it is not adapted to keep long."
Beer - drinking
Mrs Beeton was right!
Local History - of wherever I happen to be at the time
Industrial Archaeology and Heritage
Country Walking - now enjoying the Anglesey Coast
Watching football
 
 
 
Most Admired Person
