As I browse the net wondering what course to take
Who Do You Think You Are on the TV, a past they rake
I think of mine and my future that I do now strive
For that elusive, mysterious tree of life
I’ve trawled the net for my family name
To no avail in that crazy game
My family history confused as ever
My search will continue one day for the better
So many directions I do now see
Which branch first from this tree?
To better myself in fantastic ways
To reach those heights for better days
This year of learning from two begun
Now I am but the last son
My Fathers side all but gone
Putting right all that went wrong
The change is coming, I can feel it now
I shall make my Father proud
There he sits way up high
Looking down I hope with happiness in his eyes

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...''
