RALPH AT LARGE
MY INTERESTS
I have a butterfly brain, one which flits from topic to topic, activity to activity, probing and savouring before moving on. This means that I know a little about a lot of things, and acknowledge that there is an infinite amount that I don't know.
Because I have so much to occupy my time, I am still working on this section!
Me in my element. The Peacock pub in Nottingham, complete with Staffordshire figurines. Don't mention the stuffed fox!
