  1. A lot of well intentioned chaps of a certain age will dream of restoring the bike from their youth, learning Spanish, learning guitar or writing a book, I've done the Spanish and guitar bit, as a hopeless mechanic the only thing left is the book, I've written a book.
    Essentially about a village idiot, some truth, some lies, included anyway, light hearted fiction that may make you smile. Written in a local dialect, small thinking village life, a world that spans four miles radius from his mums house.
    It's a far bigger feat than I ever imagined, originally written as three short stories, now three chapters in the book, each chapter is a week in the bullshitters life, some light industrial language and the odd bike reference.
    It's called "Simon Island" now available on Amazon, paperback is £15.00 Kindle is £8.00
    It may make a good stocking filler for the liar in your life. upload_2025-11-12_18-57-49.png

  2. Congratulations -or should I say felicidades- on learning the guitar and now you've written a book! Does this mean your garden is overgrown?
     
  3. I have never been a keen gardener, grew some tomatoes this year.
    Still ride the bike, cycle a bit, go to watch football, got to keep the the grey matter going, little projects are the key.
