My name is Chris but I am known to many friends by my former nickname, Nobby - hence the name of this site. I'm from the state of Queensland, in
Australia. This site started as a collection of Spanish song lyrics and photos
of the Camino de Santiago. Then came family photos, and some quotations.
In late 2005 I added some pages on computer instruction which was my professional field.
In 2006 I included some pages about life attitudes which could help you improve your life. We have
been on a spiritual journey for much of our adult lives and have
listened to or read many famous teachers and authors. Some of
that wisdom is reproduced in the Attitudes pages. Additionally, I have given summaries of some books which I believe contain vitally useful information - information which could help you to improve your life beyond belief. I hope you take the time to read these pages and can benefit from them.
I have gathered together the lyrics of
many of the Spanish songs which I have in my collection. It took
me many months and countless hours of work to locate the lyrics
and in most cases to "translate" them to English. I
want the results of this to be available to all. And if this saves
you some work, then my site has served its purpose.
In 2003, my wife and I walked the famous Camino de Santiago pilgrim route
across the north of Spain. It was a beautiful experience and the
people we met were wonderful, making it a significant event in
our lives. The Camino pages include some photo memories of that epic journey.
For family members and friends in other places who might be interested, I have put many of our personal photos on the
site.
In mid 2006 I spent three months back-packing around South America on a very tight budget. The record of that trip is in the Blog and travel pages.
