MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER WANT TO KNOW ABOUT MOTH How? Though I'd been interested in both for a long while, I finally got into stones & Cope relatively late in life and at around the same time (mid 90s). I guess my girlfriend at the time has to take the blame. She bought me 'Peggy Suicide' and she used to get those nice megalithic postcards from Mr Julian. Why? At first, looking at stones seemed just like a good excuse for stomping around in beautiful countryside. Little did I know how much more it would become. And that they're not always in beautiful countryside.... Where? At the time I was living in Tufnell Park in London so started off with a lot of southern stones 'n' bumps, particularly on holidays to Devon, the Lands End peninsula and the west country in general. Since then holidays have become increasingly megalithacentric! A couple of years later I moved back to Leeds where I lived for much of my adult life (I'm originally from Kent) prompting numerous visits to stones 'n' bumps in places like Derbyshire, Cumbria, N Wales and of course Yorkshire. I now live near Oxford (see 'Life?'). Strangely enough however, my most visited and probably favourite 'stony areas' are Aberdeenshire and Perthshire, though I've been to quite a few all over Scotland. This is again thanks to a (different) ex-girlfriend who comes from Montrose and is the mother of my glorious son Callan, who at the time of writing is 8 years old. As you may have guessed, Callan is named after Callanish - at the time of his birth this was a long intended but unmade pilgrimage for me. But more of that in my debut weblog! ('Calan' from 'Calanais' just didn't seem to work. And for the older ones here, no, his name has nothing to do with Edward Woodward!) Life? Currently living just to the north-west of Oxford with the gorgeous Jane (we got married in October 2004) and Seafer (Jane's dangerous 'n' stripey cat). I travel up to Leeds every few weeks to spend time with Callan. I'm an editor, but am currently working as a civil servant. Boo! Fun? In a varying order Travel Stones, vigorous country walking (and the countryside, obviously) Various music, especially heavy rock and funk Real ale & real ale pubs Single malts Bourbon (of the whisky persuasion - not the biccies) Red wine Cheese Roast tatties and chips (not usually together) Chocolate Most other food that never had a face Wildlife F1 racing (weird one, that) Talking bollocks Sarcasm Laughing Having a good moan Vital statistics?
