A vintage year. The year of my birth in the small leafy village of Edmonton, in North London.

Being tired of the cold winters in London, relocate to Iran for a year. Well my family do and being only 4 I am taken with them

Returned from Iran and move back to North London, in a small place called Winchmore Hill. I also begin my education at Raglan Infants School

Graduated from infants school and moved 100 yards along the road to Raglan Juniors

Start big school - The Latymer School in Edmonton

Went behind the iron-curtain for a visit to Moscow and Leningrad (St Petersburg)

University of Warwick...Biochemistry degree.  Learnt the art of working at 3am whilst pissed

Dad living out in the States for a couple of years, meant a few trips out to San Francisco to visit!

Lived in Kenilworth, whilst doing a Phd at Warwick University.  Too much like hard work, without the benefit of pay.  Dropped out.

Put my degree to good use and became a traineeCIPFA Accountant.  at Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council

Finally qualify, after a couple of near misses!

Move to Erdington in sunnier and leafier than Edmonton, Birmingham

I finally move onto the property ladder, purchasing a bijou residence in Solihull.
