I am Irish: From Portrush, the fourth oldest of 11 children. A retired Civil Servant, I live with my wife Jenny near Norwich. Our son Leo, & Lynsey, live and work in the city. These Blogspot (websites) are dedicated in turn, to my poetry, and personal blogs. I can also be found at, Here There And Everywhere. See the link below. In 1995, I graduated from the University of Liverpool with a BA (2.1) in English Literature and Modern History.
