In His Own Words
About him
I can pen riddles: What did one candle say to the other candle?
At least one of my poems is good, about cats and clocks.
I enjoy kicking leaves and pottering in rock pools.
I like rocks, minerals, gemstones and fossils.
Singing sands and musical rocks play tunes for me.
I love building rockeries and saving wildlife ponds.
Planted over a thousand trees until I lost count.
I like playing chess and nearly win but lose!
I dabble at scrabble but lost for words.
At table tennis I spin and spin to win!
I like sharing crosswords but not cross words.
My ancestors made real Eccles Cakes.
I blew up a substation (nobody is perfect...).
I lived with Gobi nomads for many a long year.
I enjoy looking at ruins then off to a pub lunch.
