My parents moved to Wales when I was three, so I learnt to speak Welsh as a child, and am still fairly fluent in it. I learnt French at school, but can only remember some of it now. I learnt Arabic when working in Saudi Arabia in the 70's, but can hardly remember any of that! I am now concentrating on learning American!
Just to continue the language theme, I learnt many computer languages over the years, but the one that stayed with me most was bad language!
I was baptised in 2000, and in March 2001 a lady in America started writing to me, as she was looking for a Christian penpal - and she ended up marrying me, for which I continually thank the Lord.
Nowadays I keep myself busy doing some web site design, helping people with computer problems, and volunteering - I do some Red Cross Rural Rides driving, and am also a founder member of the Greenfield Independent Volunteers - a.k.a. The GIVers.
If you have any questions or comments, or just feel like corresponding - feel free to write, I am a very open person, but be warned, I have a prevalent sense of humour.
