Forty today
Who knows what it’ll bring
Didn’t think I’d get here
Or would celebrate anything
But forty I have reached
I now see with eyes anew
Time to finally live
Out with those days of blue
A new determination now exists
Where before it had died
The flame had burnt out
The flicker did subside
But of late I have awoken
To new things and ideas
It’s true when you reach forty
It begins again wiping away those fears
So let the games commence
Let a new life begin
Bring it all on
This good stuff glimpsed but never seen
I’m ready now for the adventure
Ready to climb mountains high
I’ve swam with sharks and piranha’s
‘Tis time to break free and fly
Happy Birthday to all those who celebrate today. We’re an eccentric bunch apparently?

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...''
