I was born in 1950 and this is the story of my adventures over the following 60 years. This is a nobody in particular's account of a 1950s childhood, the so-called Swinging Sixties, the hippy era, the first and second Glastonbury Festivals, the hippy trail to India, gurus and self-discovery, marriage, being a dad, divorce, marriage again, training horses, organic farming, getting a glimpse of old age, and a few other things along the way. When it comes to how to live your life, I'd say use it for what you enjoy doing, and definitely don't sell it down the river in exchange for a few quid an hour!

Right now I am working on my website at

and my youtube account.
Maybe here, I should go into a description of my life and so on, but somehow I find that a bit weird. Suffice to say that in the history of the human race, I have done nothing of note, and I am very happy to be able to say that.
