Not sure I’ve ever introduced myself properly so

Not sure I’ve ever introduced myself properly so maybe I should give it a go.

That shy guy in the photo is me, Daniel Lightening, with our Milo who turned 17 this week!

I’ve been married to an incredible girl called Ruth for 15 years and we have 3 children - Sam, Poppy & Rosie, and 2 dogs - Milo & Oscar, and these guys are my world and I love nothing more than spending all of my free time with them.

The Latitude music festival is the first thing to go on our calendar every year and we always make the best memories there. I’m a lover of all things 80’s & 90’s, especially music and movies, holidays & mini adventures camping, craft beer, hanging out with friends, kayaking, beach walks (when you make it to your 40’s for some reason walking becomes a thing you enjoy! What’s all that about?) and just enjoying all the small things in life with a smile.

I feel extremely lucky to make a living doing what I love and long may it continue.
