Seven years ago I married the most wonderful woman, Caz Elsson is an awesome mum, a fantastic wife, and best of all my soulmate.
I know I'm not always the easiest to live with, but, for all my faults, you believe in me and for that, I'm forever grateful.
Love you sweetheart 💞 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY xxxx

A week of mixed fortunes, starts with a car crash with my son in the car as we were hit from behind - thankfully we are ok(ish) with a bit of whiplash n shock😫 moving on to getting tickets to the War of the Rohirrim Premiere on Tues then on to my Tolkien Fandom interview at Marquette University 👍🏻

As a proud Yorkshireman this makes me chuckle!

Word of the day is ‘hibernacle’ (18th century): a hibernating animal’s winter retreat.

I believe it works on a human level too.

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed.

(Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).
