His Majesty, my master is. EADEN STANLEY YOUNG.
I and many who seem to love him dearly call him, "Poeps"  @ 68 (last Saturday), many years older than I, he is a grandfather, great grandfather.( 4 sons) We met in 1968 May and have been married as long, adding to his family eventually by two more sons.  All our children look alike, (good bull?) although our two are red- heads like their ma.  Our elder unmarried son ( the- one- of- the teeth, who is named Eaden 2) by this second marriage, has recently made us grandparents of a fat dark haired boy angel (10 months old) who too has the genes.   Oh and others call the Black Bandit thus, or Eaden.   He this man of mine, is a cabinet maker supreme. Supposedly retired as of 1996, he has built a huge factory and showroom in the town, wherein he dispenses coffee to all and sundry, manufactures nautical instruments and very specialized furniture for people who beg prettily.  In-between, he rides his bike, plays games on his computer as I have taught him and tries very hard to understand tourism and keep me happy.
We are in the process of building a new house which brings out the very worst in both of us as neither of us can stand shoddy workmanship.    This is going to be a 10 month nightmare, I can tell.
I got into biking purely as a defence as I imagined being left alone for ages while 'the guys' went out into the countryside. When I ride I used a backpack, very small on my back, which looks like a lion with bright red hair. It gets me through all the traffic as everyone smiles and steps aside for me.......LOL! I have done 30000 kilometres though the country and am still s..t scared of riding.  Jewish lionesses were not born to ride.
Heavens I must work, Off to decorate the  hall for the Hospice Ball......
