Hey!
I live in Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. If you’re not sure where that is, it’s near Coventry and not too from Birmingham. I live in a lovely little Victorian terrace house with my girlfriend, Claire, and our slightly broken, but very cute, Norwegian Forest cat, Dylan.
Whenever I’m editing or driving anywhere I’m either listening to music or one of my favourite podcasts.
I’ve built up a ridiculously big music collection over the years. I started out listening to grunge, rock and metal in my teens (still enjoy some of it now), I got properly into 60s and 70s rock and folk music in my uni years, and now I listen to all of the above mixed with singer songwriters, hip-hop, Jazz, Blues, Country… anything that makes me feel the passion of the artist is a winner for me!
For me, music has so many memories associated with it that my mind often drifts off into procrastination. So whilst editing I find myself listening to comedy podcasts to keep me focused. I find myself laughing out loud far too often but it’s only Dylan that can hear me so all good. His reaction is rarely more than a twitch of the ear anyway.
I also watch a lot of football. I’ve followed Nottingham Forest ever since I went to Uni in Nottingham… at times it’s not easy!
Dylan
So, I described Dylan as our slightly broken cat… we’ve had him since he was tiny and he was, and still is, scared of life itself! A knock at the door, he hides. The clatter of cutlery, he runs out of the kitchen… even if he really wants his dinner. Fireworks… weirdly they didn’t used to bother him, now, he hides under the bath or a bed, whatever is closest.
He is very cute and very gentle though and loves being around people… but only one person at a time otherwise, well, it’s a but too much for him.
You’ll probably see his cute face pop up fairly regularly if you follow my Insta stories.
