I grew up in Chertsey, living with my parents and my younger brother and sister. We were taught at home and lots of my early memories focus on the books in which I read about adventures and disasters and the games we played in our big old house and our wild garden which had an orchard at the bottom.
In the late 90's my family moved from our house in a big town near London to a smallholding in the wild frontier of West Wales. My siblings and I now had a lot more space and our already-adventurous spirits took flight into the forests and hills surrounding our new home, where we built fortresses and stalked imaginary prey.
In 2004 I met my future wife. We were two objects in space, quietly orbiting and waiting for a warm collision. We became inseparable when we cast our clasp in stone.
In 2005 I went to work for a local company called howies. I started off picking and packing parcels in the warehouse and over the years I have done a bit of everything. Today I manage e-commerce, which is to say I run the website and related systems.
