Thank you The Doog; in a word I get sick too, although decreasingly so; I am told Nelson used to be sick as well, so as I fire my imaginery broadsides at whoever I feel I am in good company.
Though to be serious; it is no joke so I swallowed my pride when I embarked on my Atlantic voyage and took Sturgeron (spelling). Brilliant except I got the dose wrong at times and slept through the wake up call for my watch on two occasions.
And I can tell you ex-Chief Petty Officer (submarines) do NOT like that. I was on scrubbing decks after that.

It has been a while since I wrote and I got a question about Cheesehead. Taking it on face value, I would suspect the harder and thicker the cheese the better the outcome for sculpting.
Can't quite see it with a runny brie - can you?
I was reminded by a good friend about my sail across the Atlantic in 2006 and as I said on my 1st blog; I tend to have a go at things if it seems a "good Idea".
Well this is an enormous step into the unknown for me. To be asked to create a blog is indeed flattering and I have an ego like anybody else.
But's that's the easy bit; now to perform.
So following on the best advice that I have ever received; namely "Keep it Simple", I thought I should introduce who I am and what I do.
