Just amazing to think…

Just amazing to think, I was only 16/17 when I set this website up! Now turned 42 this year! Yes, you now, you’re getting told, when you have to use your phone to work out, your own age! Yes, I really had to do 2021 – 1979 = 42 to work out my age!

Of course back, when I was 16/17 digital cameras were not a thing! Do did not start posting photos, on here, till I was around 20 when I got my very first digital camera!

Just to think this photos from 2001, could be very first time, you get to see me wearing Lycra! But only under shorts!

You had to wait, till 2002 when I posted the very first photo of myself wearing Lycra…

Also in 2002, I posted the very first photos of myself wearing a wetsuit! Oh and yes, I still own that wetsuit and it still fits me!!
