    About Me

    Location:Bristol, South Gloucester, United Kingdom

    I am married to my darling Scheela and have 3 beautiful children. I was fortunate enough to be laid off 4 years ago. This enabled me to work from home, and I now make my living from my dining room. I was also able to see my youngest take her first steps. How many working parents are lucky enough to do that!
