This is me !!!!
I work for Leeds City Council. I'm married with two sons, and live in a small village on the outsklirts of Leeds. Hobbies include computers, the internet, social networking, drinking, walking, reading and I have a very eclectic taste in music. I have just started to write short stories.

Welcome to another year
