1.  Which festival or event are you looking forward to in 2012?
My brother in law's stag weekend, The National Eisteddfod in the Vale of Glamorgan (down the road from my house) and our Greek holiday.

2. Are you going on holiday this year?
Oh yes, the island of Agistri in Greece.

3.Your favourite scenery in Wales?
Aberaeron harbour, the beaches at Ogmore by Sea and Southerndown, where I walk nearly every day. Further north, the scenery from the car park spot by Menai Bridge, Anglesey, a place I discovered as a student in Bangor.

4. Favourite month?
July, the month of the Royal Welsh show and our Greek holiday!

5. What would be your ideal job?
A photographer and writer who works in the outdoors.

6. What was your first job?
Whilst in school I worked at a fruit and veg shop. As an adult (albeit a very young one), a runner who made tea for everyone in a TV production company in Cardiff!

7. Your first car?
My father's van and then a VW Polo.

8.  Favourite song?
"Ble aeth yr haul?" sung by Heather Jones and Huw Jones (written by Dewi Pws) and "Life's been good to me so far"  by Joe Walsh from the Eagles.

9. Favourite film?
Too many to choose from but if I had to choose two - 'Local Hero' (music by Mark Knopfler) and 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'.

10. The best party you've ever attended?
A party to welcome the new millennium in 1999/2000. Don't ask why!

11.  If you had the chance to travel back in time, which period would you visit?
The 1920s and the 1950s. The 20s was a significant era historically and saw the rise of technology. The 50s was a period of great fashion for men, I am a big fan of this era's suits.

12. Tell us an interesting fact about yourself.
When I was in school I wanted to work on cruise ships, most probably my daily view of the sea as a child in Aberaeron sparked this dream of mine!

13. What angers and makes you sad?
Hah! How much time have you got to spare? To list only a few (!) - Bikes on the main road, people who refuse to pick up dog mess and who litter, self important and narrow-minded people, strangers who call me "mate". Shall I go on? 

14.  What makes you happy?
Our extended family around the table, walking with the dogs on the beach,  reading the paper quietly over a pint of Guiness, going to the cinema with my wife, seeing my children happy and successful and making their mark in life, going on our Greek holiday with our friends.
