About Me.... Where do I start? A piece that I wrote a while back is still the best description that I can offer.. I was born on a stormy morning in August 1976. Just seconds after my birth I was whisked from my "mothers" arms and placed in an incubator. I was blue from head to foot, and suffering a sever lack of oxygen. A few days later I was let out of the intensive care unit and allowed home. The balance of life had chosen me to live.
I don’t remember any of the "happy" times that I had as a child, however, I do know this: I had a constant smile, a twinkle in my eye and a joy for life. The smile is now bigger, the twinkle rarely seen (but coming back stronger each day, and if you do see it... beware you are in trouble!!) and the joy for life is firmly replaced with a passion.
My two loves as a child were, and still are, computers and singing. Computers cost money, something that my mother and step-father were unwilling to spend, so singing took over. I was good, and I don’t mean to sound big headed, but hey! I took the lead in many musicals including Joseph and the Technicolor Dream coat at school, and I hope that I made a lot of people happy. I was very proud to do that, but at 15 my pride gave way to puberty and my voice broke, and I wasnt allowed to rehearse my new deeper voice. The day that happened part of me died, a part that took years to come back. Since then I have done many things.. Leaving dreary England behind me in 1998, I spent 7 years in Germany. I experienced the EXPO, had my own company, ran a hotel, learnt German, found out the truth about my father, fell in love, and met a few people that treated me better than my paternal parents ever did, and whom I respect and love very dearly. In March 2006 I left the bitter cold of Hannover, and decided to spend some time on the little island of Malta. This is where I now call home, far away from friends, loved ones and family. But at least I have sunshine... and a place to stay if you fancy a visit! |
