You may or may not know that I live in the beautiful seaside retreat of Victor Harbor in South Australia.
Let's see... what else can I tell you?
Hmm... where shall we begin?
Hobbies, perhaps?
Like most of you, my interests are varied. I love many things from astronomy to music. Some of my likes have been active pastimes - things I was truly passionate about at some stage - others being more of a general interest, such as gardening.
They include archeology along with certain periods in history, reading, writing obviously, model railroading - surprised? - music, cooking, walking, movies (I always dreamt of being a filmmaker) and... How much time did you say you have?
I love animals and do have pets. I have lost them too, been devastated by it and have moarned their loss.
Oh, I really love fine motor cars, my all time favourite being Aston Martins. Check out the photo below. Look at the T-shirt, will you? I'm an avid Avengers fan.
I'm also interested in things like UFO's, hauntings, mythical creatures, legends and all things unexplained.
Anyway, enough about me. I'll come back and add a few things later but for now, let's talk about you - because you are the reason that I created this page in the first place and hopefully, you'll be the one who enjoys my stories.
That is my goal. To write a novel of the sort you can't put down and simply must finish. Hearing that from you, would make me very happy indeed. - Rick
Out and about
Below you will find a few pics of my travels.
The first one was taken ith the Bond's classic Aston Martin DB5 at the Designing 007 Expo in Melbourne.
The second photo was taken on the Afghan Express, a return trip to Quorn from Port Augusta on the historical Pichi Richi railway.
