Thoughts from an everyday kinda guy from Ireland.I'm a writer, and some say a poet. I have been published in print and also online. I'm an Independent Food & Wine Consultant. I like photography. Am I any good? Sometimes, yes. I'm Irish, but live in France. I post thoughts, rants, my own photos and sometimes reblog stuff that catches my eye. Ask me a question, and I will answer.
