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 became increasingly megalithacentric, and are now mainly wildlifecentric (tho often with some stones thrown in)! 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?'). I've seen stones all over the UK & further afield, including (but not limited to) bits of France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Menorca, Sardinia & even Jordan. 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 updating is now 21.... 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. Happily I've now been twice & hope to go again for the next 're-gleam'. Life? Currently living just to the north-west of Oxford with the gorgeous Jane (we got married in October 2004). Seafer (Jane's dangerous 'n' stripey cat) is no more and for the last 8 years we've been in the custody of Officer Dibble and Skipper (also cats). Jane's also responsible for increasing my love of travel & the expansion of my love of wildlife! I'm an editor really, but now have a nice easy admin job 4-days a week working for a tiny IT training company who do expensive niche training for IT professionals. Fun? In a varying order Travel Wildlife & bird photography and watching Stones, walking, and the countryside, obviously Various music, especially heavy rock and funk Real ale & real ale pubs (though as Jane can't drink for medical reasons we don't often go to pubs) Single malts Bourbon (of the whisky persuasion - not the biccies) Red wine Cheese Roast tatties and chips (not usually together) Chocolate A lot of other food that never had a face F1 Talking bollocks Sarcasm Laughing Having a good moan, especially about the Tories Vital statistics? Height 5'8" Chest N/K (medium t-shirt size) Waist 32-34" depending how fat I happen to be at the time Inside leg 32" Aged 60 but we don't talk about that Hair Long mostly grey (used to be brown) love Moth updated 2 September 2022 My TMA Content:
