First Time Blog

I really came here because I wanted to access my son Somerled's band photos but I found that there was a lot more to it and I like the idea of having this bit of space on the web.


Somerled's band is called Red Arrow Black Shirt.


Somerled also composes his own music under the alias Delremos.



My other son Merlin is in a band called The Dank, which has begun to post here too.



Merlin too composes his own music in Project Delirious.


I have always believed that every thing I tackle should have a sense of adventure about it. I therefore have found it extremely difficult to hold down a regular job.

I spent 11 years in a craft business making fragrant products, mainly candles but also oil pots, fragrant oils and soaps. We not only had our own shop but supplied over 500 shops around Australia.




 

Also I have travelled extensively around Australia in an old Pioneer Express coach converted into a mobile home.

 

Having seen how computers changed our business in the early 1980s, when I got back from travelling around Australia, I went back to school and got a degree in computing.

 

Sadly Lady Bear and I split up around this time. 18 good years together. Still good friends apart. This is when I moved to the coast.

Then I spent 7 years working towards saving our lighthouses and their heritage in the late nineties and early zeros.



Due to changed circumstances I no longer have the big adventures and satisfy myself with a collection of smaller ones to continue on this one of life itself.

I will post stuff about where I am at and what I am doing now days soon.
