Hi, my name’s Simon.
I live in North West Norfolk, which is a relatively sleepy place to live, being about an hour from any city, and an hour from the nearest motorway. It’s nice here.
About five years ago I went on a bit of a life adventure that ended up with me gaining a whole load of interesting friends dotted around the country, and one particular friend (the lovely Jane) who ended up becoming my wife. And last year a little boy called Tom came along and my life took on a whole new direction, and meaning.
My interests are fairly varied. I like creating stuff, whether it be writing, or photography, or cooking. I’m not saying I’m great at those things, but what I lack in technical ability I think I make up for in wit and imagination.
Other facts:
- I work in the NHS, which I think is one of the best things the UK ever created.
- I’m quite shy. I need time and/or distance to shine.
- I like tigers.
- I make wild claims that can’t possibly be backed up.
- I invented the combustion engine.
I couldn’t agree more with you. The NHS is one of the best things the UK has ever created. I am always pleassed and proud to hear that NHS staff think this way.
And on a completely different note: congratulations on inventing the combustion engine. You must be a very rich man.
…Or was it a case that Herr Daimler got to the patent office first?
Hi mate
my mate Tobie tipped me off to your blog, love it! Tried to text you for a pint the other day but the number I had didn’t belong to you! When you get a chance send me your proper number over on email?
Hope fatherhood is suiting you well, also good to hear about Jane’s winey sense :0)
Great blog. I was also introduced to it by Tobie, is he on commission?
Keep up the good blogging as and when parenting allows.
and soon to be the mother of our first child. < ERROR
Corrected! Slightly late!
