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.

Let it snow, let it snow, LET IT STOP !!!!
It’s grim up North, or so the saying goes. There was no snow at 05:30 this morning when I looked out, but by 06:30 we had a good 1 inch covering. Driving was fun, to say the least. I … Continue reading
