Learning more about me.

I'm a bookworm, always read lots. I'm also a collector, I like owning books. I have over two shelves just devoted to local history :-/ But reading sadly didn't help much at school, I was decidedly average/ poor in almost everything I did. I went to uni but quit after a year, I could have stuck the course out but it wasn't really what I wanted to do and I knew my interest was seriously going to wane.

If I had a magic time machine, and could do things again I would have tried harder at school, but by the time I knew what I would like to do it was rather too late to change anything. All this has lead me to my job, which. I love so I'm glad such a time machine doesn't currently exist.

I would have loved to be an archeologist or a geologist. I can't tell you why, but even as a kid I was obsessed with rocks. (I was an odd child, and odder adult).

So now as an adult, and when the mood strikes me, I dip into the books I have collected on those subjects. And these are just some of those books. I'm not going to say I've read and absorbed them! Haha if you've met me you'd know that's unlikely, but it makes me happy.


And you never know, perhaps one day you'll get to see some of my rock collection ;-)
