Hi everyone old and new, (including Project Orion who I never got chance to chat with on BABB. Please stick around a while.)

I'm 38, born - as the handle suggests - in west Yorkshire England, married 3 years, no kids, none planned.

I did a degree in electrical engineering, currently I work for a biggish IT firm supporting geographic information systems.

My interests are pretty varied – as well as astronomy and astrophotography I’m into archaeology and ancient history. I’ve done brief stints on an archaeological dig, and still once a year don 12-century clothing and live the life of a peasant at a Viking reconstruction village near York, including spit-roasting a pig.

I enjoy travelling, particularly if it has a historical or archaeological element to it – most recently, a visit to Cambodia. (Go there, incidentally. It’s a beautiful country with great people.)

Love music, both listening to and playing.
