I'm human too...


I live in SW17 with my wife, baby boy and three cats. I am fiercely Welsh during the 6 Nations (in good years and bad). I have also been found amongst the "Barmy Army" at Test matches and will otherwise mostly be found on the sofa watching the TV with our baby boy, a cat and the remote, as long as sport is on.
