    A while back I lived in Poole, before it developed into such a busy town. I remember just driving down to the quay in the evening and parking on the edge overlooking the water - can't do that now of course. Guess everywhere has to change.

    What??? It's the second largest natural harbour in the world. Hmmm, I'll have to ask dear old hubby as I'd never heard of it. Thanks for enlightening me. ;)

I am an English guy who moved to the USA in 1994, spent 12 years in Indiana, then moved to South Florida in 2005. I have a background in computers, have run my own web sites since 1998, and spend more time working than I would like (as do we all)...

I enjoy travel, spent a year in New Zealand, followed by 12 years of travel for work, mostly to Central and South America and the Caribbean. I love meeting people from different backgrounds and cultures and experiencing different ways of life. I have met some wonderful people on my travels, and one of thing I have found is that laughter is one of the best ways to make friends.

I love humour, and have run a jokes mailing list for the last 8 years, helping make thousands of people laugh around the world. A lot of my humour also shows through in my lenses and blogs.
