Nowhere near as much as I would like. I've visited most of Europe e.g. France, Belgium, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Portugal etc. I've also traveled along the east and west coasts of America. During the mid 70's I lived in California for a while and nearly stayed but I ended up going back to live in the UK.
I have a bucket list of countries I want to visit before I get too old to appreciate it. Venice (Italy), Ghana & Kenya (Africa) and Japan are at the top of my list.
That's an interesting question. According to my wife and daughter I can't lie my way out of a paper bag 🙁
I do recall when I was child trying to convince my friends that I was a character from a TV program. The only problem was the character was a puppet with strings so I think everyone saw through that one.
Cold still water by a country mile. I really dislike the taste of carbonated drinks. Coffee in moderation is another favorite but not tea which is considered rather odd for an Englishman!
As far as alcohol goes I have a passion for Malt Whiskey, particularly Islay Malts and Guinness, an Irish dry stout.
Many times and many types of boats from punts, rowing boats and barges to ferries and cruise ships. I love being on the water be it a calm river or a rough sea. I live on a sea front in a fishing village and occasionally get to go out for the day on a working fishing boat. It's my idea of paradise 🙂
I collect vintage and rare stringed instruments, it's a bit of an obsession if I'm honest. I also have a huge collection of music. Other than that I'm rather a minimalist and hate clutter so I have very few possessions.
Art was the only subject I excelled at when I was young and I wanted to go to art college but my career as a musician took off so it never happened.
In more recent years I've learnt to use or abuse software such as Adobe Photoshop. I'd say my graphics skills are about average. For what it's worth this is a theme I designed a few years ago for a XenForo forum I use to run so you can judge for yourself 🙂
Thanks 🙂
The question about a tattoo is quite topical. I don't have any but I've recently had my second brush with cancer which resulted in a golf ball sized hole in my lower right forearm (slap on the factor 50, you know it makes sense! 😎).
Anyway although I'm not particularly vain, I have been considering getting a tattoo in that area to kind of compensate or distract from the obvious crater. Unfortunately Covid shut down all the tattoo parlors in this area and they have only just opened up so it's back on my list again.
Not a flower as such but I was out walking yesterday morning and came across what looked very like Rosemary growing on a patch of open land. A quick smell of a few picked leaves said otherwise though.
