About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Heading to Disney, then please stop by for a cuppa!

ABOUT ME

A tall charming lad with a delightful Scottish accent and a wicked sense of humour.

He'd help you out of a bind, drive you to the hospital and even give you his shoes

(All of the above have happened in the last few months!)

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

-- Mark Twain

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I suppose watching the Aurora Borealis was amazing even though it was minus 30 C, I've been involved in a football riot in St Petersberg, I've watched rock concerts from the front of stages.

To be honest I should write a book!
