Some of my own true stories

Having grown up on a boat and having such fond memories of it, I talk about it often and have evolved a reportoire of stories of incidents from those days from aged twelve, back as far as I can recall - about three. I have a vague idea of writing a book about it, but as with the majority of such ideas, it has not quite got off the ground. I'd write from the eyes of the child I was then, thus eliminating a lot of research. My idea was to write a enough of these incidents down, form them into chronological order and call it "Cradle Rocks". My family and friends have enjoyed reading these stories as I get around to writing them, so to make it easier for those with internet access I will post the completed stories here for the moment. Hopefully I will write more as time goes by.

My Colourful Past

During my time working for EBRD in Eastern Europe, travelling to really strange places in Central Europe, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, I tried to keep a diary to record these events, for myself and, for my friends and family to get an insight into what I was doing out there. Over the five years I installed complete computer systems in more than five offices per year, ending up with twenty-eight by 1997. In '92 & '93 I was working on the first dozen, after that it got too hectic to keep writing regularily.
