Giving Friendica another go, so here's a bit of an introl!


I was born in a city in Yorkshire, known by the name of the river that runs through it!
Not sure how long I lived there because (one of) my parents became homesick and the family returned to the Red Rose side o f the Pennines - Preston in Lancashire, so my first memories are of growing up in a new council house during the '50s. I have lived in and around Preston ever since.
Got married in the mid '70's and she has put up with me to this day.
After secondary school I had a few jobs then worked for a major employer in the Preston area for almost 40 years before taking early retirement. Have now been retired over 12 years.
I like reading, mostly scifi, listen to various genres of music (eclectic mix), enjoy walking in the local countryside.
