Product Description

Product Description

I began to write this book out of bitterness. I was bitter at all the hard work and failure I have endured in my life, but as I progressed through my book I began to realise how many experiences I could share with others. This is largely an account of an ordinary man searching for a place in life and trying to find out just who he is.

Much of what I did was borne mainly out of fear of failure. This was to lead me into all sorts of adventures and situations that I could not cope with, let alone have the ability to carry out with any competence. From cleaning toilets to Royal Naval Aircrew, Merchant Seaman to Psychiatric Nurse and even a window cleaner, a life lived to the full, I regret none of it. This led to many humorous and some dangerous situations, many of which I sought to escape by Running For Home.

Come with me on an adventure you will never forget, written with honesty and sincerity if this book helps anyone to come to terms with their lot in life, then I shall be satisfied that I have succeeded in my quest.

"Loved this book - it was a real treat to read. I enjoyed the honesty of a man not afraid to say that he was afraid. He conquered the fear and that's bravery?"

5.0 out of 5 stars running for home 8 Mar 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
If you have ever felt alone and lacking self esteem then read this book. The Author has lived and worked through all these self doubts and more but has come out at the other end and able to put his experiences in writing. Sad and very funny along with being very interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars nothing ordinary about this man! 10 April 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Loved this book - it was a real treat to read. I enjoyed the honesty of a man not afraid to say that he was afraid. He conquered the fear and that's bravery? He was lucky to grow up in an age when boys could be boys, before health and safety hijacked all our lives and so his writing captures the simplicity of a time when making mistakes was just that - not being sued for them! Recommend this book as a delightful way to spend some quality time - reading about a quality life

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good read 3 Feb 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
As soon as i heard this was on sale i just HAD to get it. Its a very interesting autobiography with lots of gentle humour . The author has made many Youtube videos of his window cleaning skills which was how i heard of him and has been a real inspiration to me and no doubt many others in the trade .
