Some random info about me:

1. Day off? Getting out for a walk, bike ride or wee paddle. I’ve been doing a monthly hike or wild camp in the Mourne Mountains this year.

2. Pets? We’ve the sweetest 14 year old wee dog Pixie, who’s a sheltie mix, a spoilt cat called Mollie and a wise old hen called tibbles who sleeps up a tree since the last time the badger “visited” the chicken coop.

3. TV Programme? I rarely watch TV but when I do it’s usually whatever crime or period dramas Diann’s watching. I am however a big fan of a few YouTube creators @BeauMiles @colinfurze @PaulMessner @simonegiertz

4. Shop? Ebay, Middle aisle in LIDL, and the awesome little shop behind the garage at the end of the road that sells absolutely everything!

5. Beverage? Cappuccino or very milky tea (I put this down to growing up on a dairy farm). I’m also partial to an occasional wee nip of Jameson.

6. Pastime? I have a love/hate relationship with DIY, I love making and fixing things but always make things worse and break stuff so the whole process always takes much longer than anticipated, but seeing the end result is always satisfying.

7. Game? I LOVE board games! (7 Wonders, Catan, Dominion, Coup etc…At last count we own over 70!) however the 2 biggest arguments I’ve had with my wife Diann were over Monopoly and Risk.

8. Sweets? I don’t really eat sweets, but I can’t say no to cake, biscuits, wee buns, jam scones, or my absolute fav chocolate eclairs!

9. Celeb? Ray Mears is my hero. I love campfires and cooking outdoors. I’m planning on grow some veg again this year, and maybe even convince the kids to eat some of it….
