I was born in Kent, UK. Spent about 1/2 my childhood in Kenya East Africa, literally out in the bush. Wild animals in your garden were the norm, came back to the UK and settled in the South Wales [green and wet country]. As an adult i was lucky enough to see most of the world, most of Europe, a fair chunk of Africa, some of the Middle East and Far East, Australia and some of the USA.
I consider myself semi-retired and living now in South Wales UK.
