About Me

Mike Knipe: Crook, County Durham, United Kingdom; I am a retired NHS Personnel person. All I do nowadays is walk about. I used to have my pet dog Bruno with me (in the front page pic). he was Superdawg but he died. Now I have Lucky the pup. He's a bit like Bruno, only smaller and more suspicious.
