Oi! Are you home I call and text
Come for a drink, two pubs next
Oi! Answer your phone
This town we should roam!
Life’s too short to stay indoors
So much to see and even more
Life’s over in the blink of an eye
Don’t let it pass you by!
I sit here writing this on my own
For those that should be bad to the bone
They just stay in and vegetate
No new life stories they’ll make
Before you know it, all is finished
The day is over, your life is banished
To a past you could’ve saved
Told a future you could’ve raved
Instead you wanted to settle down
A life so quiet in your little gown
What stories will you tell your kids
Probably about the life you miss

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
