Speed Kills.

So I'm back! I've been bullied into making a comeback. For those of you who are new, here's a quick summary. I'm a firefighter, a photographer, a poor poet, a poor husband and father, and a poor big brother to one of the Watercats. I will let you decide which one. I'm also the son of the Matron (see Views from the castle) I am however a good firefighter who specializes in RTC's Road Traffic Collisions, they used to be called RTA's (accidents) but there is always someone to blame, so therefore it is deemed that there is no such things as an accident?

In the last half a year since posting a lot of things have happened to me and my family. My brother has become an artist, my mother has become a blogger, my sister an even better singer song writer, poet, and photographer, my son an even better cricketer, and recently has been picked on the JCT panel for rugby. Junior College Team. (a really big thing) he also finished fifth out of fifty five in his academic exams, and has completed another outward bound coarse. My wife Jackie continues to be my wife, and has found new ways to annoy and surprise me in equal measure.

On a personal note I have re- qualified as an Emergency Medical Technician, and First Responder, specialising in Pre- Hospital Trauma, re-qualified as a Breathing Apparatus wearer, and have completed a hot fire recognition coarse. I have attended to many RTC's dealt with three broken Femurs, one suspected heart attack, numerous severe leg lacerations, and have even been cut myself. I've been to three house fires, two barn fires, and had my legs and chest waxed for charity. As you can see I've been busy! I have also walked and drank with a king! bought an i mac, and rediscovered my love for freshly ground coffee. My Coffee Grinder.
