Gender Male
Location Guildford, New South Wales, Australia
Introduction Hi! Welcome to our blog. I'm Mark. My partner, Pete, and I are Sydney boys. I was born and raised on Sydney's North Shore and was educated at Killara High School. Pete’s a local Parramatta boy and was educated at Marist Brothers’ Eastwood and Macquarie Boys’ High. We currently live in Guildford, in south-western metropolitan Sydney with our 2 pet Staffies. I am interested in history, geography, genealogy (family tree research), languages and music. I work on a permanent full time basis in a medico-legal profession in western Sydney. Pete works full time as a Visual Merchandiser and he’s interested in history, current affairs and all sorts of music trivia. We're building our first new home with McDonald Jones Homes. This blog is about our experiences with that adventure.
Interests Our 2 pet Staffies, Social Justice, the Environment, Ancient, Modern & Local History, Geography, Languages, Genealogy, Music
