It Does Take All Sorts To Make A WorldThat's pretty much my strap line on my beliefs. Firstly, I work within the legal system, as a lawyer, and as such, over my career, have had dealings with everyday people, homeless individuals, small family companies as well as big, some downright... See More »
My Wife & Italian Cuisine.I'm blessed. My father-in-law is Italian and my wife learned her cooking skills - the Italian ones - from his mum. Now, they rarely got on...but they did bond over cooking. He's pretty handy too. So, from pizza, to salads, to pasta and the various... See More »
I Love Them!Mind you, I used to date the person who is my mother-in-law, many years ago now. I was, you could class me, as her 'toyboy'. My wife is younger than me. Not going to lie; It caused a few problems to begin with, but I understand her concern. Same... See More »
A Big Family ChristmasAlways starts with putting up the tree and all the glitter and tinsel. Whilst the wife was out last night working, 2 of our girls and I did the transformation. Took a while. We had 'Strictly...' on the TV in the background, but we got the lights... See More »
Relationships Can Be Odd Sometimes...Thinking about it, it really is kind of crazy. Firstly I start off as the toyboy of an older woman who has a child. That child was, to be honest, an annoying brat at times. We were together about 4 years. Sadly, I cheated on her and we split up. I... See More »
The Household PlaylistIt's almost like a split, or schizophrenic, personality in what is played in the house. Me? Mainly the Cheap Tricks, the Bryan Adams and Bon Jovi's when i'm in an upbeat mood, but when I want to relax I have recently 'found' jazz, so some Miles... See More »
Litigation Law....Can Be Tough SometimesEspecially with landlords and tenants. You get to hear some horror stories, on both sides. It can get you down. Being a lawyer isn't always like they show on TV.
Love A Nice PicnicWe're not really one of those families that are high maintenance, we do like nothing more than going out with the kids, on a hot summer day, and taking some food and drink with us. Picnic, watching the kids play outdoors with each other and other... See More »
It Is A Worry.I have my moment. No, not of being an idiot in a car, but of road rage over those that are. I really don't understand how people can still be allowed to drive. I think that people, really, should have checks every couple of years. You don't pass, you... See More »
Relaxing TimeIt just helps to either wake me up or help me to relax. I like taking my time showering, even with having children, they know it's my time. I just love letting the water rush over me. I try to imagine being under a waterfall. Well, it works for me.

Fairly healthy, I thinkI've not really had any health issues, but the wife has; Liver issues, which has been a wake-up call for her, but the biggest - and scariest - was when she got Swine Flu, many years ago now. There was a mini pandemic of it around the UK at this... See More »
I'm a non-smoker.But my wife and our eldest children smoke. Their lives. Their decisions. I've never tried, never even thought of it.
Happily marriedWe've been married 19 years now. It's had it's ups and downs, of course but we've mainly been on the straight and narrow. Most importantly, it doesn't seem like that long. They say that time does fly. Certainly does! 🥰
All sorts; Heinz 59 VarietiesI like a lot of different styles of music. Growing up, the earliest musical memories were probably those of ABBA and Duran Duran, then later, I was enamoured by Queen, Meat Loaf, Journey and Foreigner. Then, I think, I fancied Madonna! I was... See More »
Running for fun and for the gold !I've always done some running, but life gets in the way. Marriage. Children. Work. You know what it's like. You get a little bit unfit. Only natural. Think I hit around 25 years of age and thought that I'd soon be 30 and that spurred me onto... See More »
Not really a jeans personMight be odd but I'm either wearing a suit (both for work and for casual) or wearing gym clothing. I have a pair of jeans...I also have a few pairs of trainers too. But I much prefer a nice pair of shoes, shirt and trousers. Sometimes a tie? Yes,... See More »
