Having passed my 100th Blip Birthday I thought it was time to do a biography - a lot of my blip thoughts are in my 100th Blip so here is just a few extra background snippets on me:

I was raised in Edinburgh but the lure of streets paved with gold took me south in 1972, although frequent visits back north let me still claim to have spent half my life in Scotland.

The streets were literally paved with gold in 1977 when we found enough money that remained unclaimed for six months for us to buy a Pentax K1000 and since then I've enjoyed taking photos and snaps. Have an impressive set of photo albums that I wouldn't inflict on anyone, and with the advent of the digital age I've also got an impressive set of backup media.

Enjoy doing outdoor stuff, hillwalking, bird watching, climbing & various sports. Married to Mrs L. with two sons - longershanks & youngshanks.
