First off, my user name is pretty straight forward, PAULEB for Paul E B(aumanis). My surname is Latvian although I was born in Carshalton Surrey.
Grew up in Croydon. Spent most of my adult life in Southport, Merseyside. After the breakdown of my first marriage I moved to a small village in the highlands of Scotland, called Kingussie (pronounced 'king-U-see'). Thats where I met and married my wife, Katharine. It was shortly after our marriage that we decided that we would like a complete change and decided to emigrate to Australia. We chose Perth because we thought it has the best climate and we haven't changed our minds. We love it here and are now Australian citizens,
This me after my first trip in a helicopter, it was fantastic, very smooth, compared to a light aircraft.

Anyhow, here I am....the banjo in the picture is my 1968 long neck Vega - a bit like a Tiger Moth, vintage, but wonderful! The glass of wine was optional...
Mate the glass of wine or a coldie is compulsary,

This is me and two of my four girls on hols at Loch Ness a couple of years ago.
Having lived in Scotland for seven years, I immediately recognised Castle Urquhart, I also recognised that typical Scottish weather.
I don't miss it!
