A maturing Scots bloke, I retired a couple of years back and about time too. Living in rural central Scotland, I now spend most of my spare time out wandering the patch and surrounds with my camera. We have a Northern view of clear sky, often indulging in astro-photos and time-lapse. I walk, take photos, listen to Prog Rock and read fiction.
I don't do corporate anti-social media :) Inc. YouTube.
