Background is Liverpool, North Wales, Yorkshire, plus travelling and working abroad in Europe and the Middle East. Deserts, orchards, streets... Communes, squats, counter-culture, gradually moderating into fatherhood and middle age. Musician, climber, sailor, writer. Influences come from everyone & everywhere, from relationships, fatherhood, mythology, rellgion, philosophy, politics, nature, literature, art, cookery, therapy, psychology, technology... I still go about marvelling most of the time, and don't intend to stop. This sounds like a dating blurb.
