I am 35 years old and married with have two beautiful sons. I am Englishman in Southern California.
I am a frustrated writer (oh no) and a former journalist, hence this blog on the ‘weirdness’ of living in Orange County and comments on this surreal life in general. I don’t own a cat.
I am a music fanatic and pretend to like surfing. I like reading and supping fine wines and ale.
I earn my living by selling antiques and art via the interweb as part of a London based family business. That’s ‘kinda weird’ as they say out here.
I have lived in Chamonix, France (where I was a cool resort Disc Jockey). I also lived in Barcelona, Spain where I attempted to learn the language (although not Catalan).
