There comes a point in everyone's life where they have to grow up.
At 51 I'm probably well past it.
Having a partner in crime helps with the not growing up thing and above is mine. Lizza and I met and married towards the end of the 20th century and have pobbled along together ever since.
She is, and has always been, very tolerant of my varied hobbies and the time they take. To be honest, I think she quite liked when I was playing golf and cycling as they got me out of the house for hours at a stretch. That being said, she's fairly happy that writing keeps me, mostly, quiet.
Something to know about Lizza is she's a fantastically creative person. Over on Instagram she recently completed the challenge of posting a self made item each day of the month. While mostly they were her garments, myself and our youngest daughter also feature.
This has given her the confidence to do something she's considered for a while, make instructional videos for home sewers.
Well now, I couldn't let her do that and not have her do it on HIVE! She has set up a YouTube channel, and will continue with Instagram, but yesterday we helped her set up a HIVE account, and got underway logging into 
So, please, go say hello to my dear
