    About this ebook

    There's one hundred sleeps, until Christmas Day.
    You may think there's no rush, it's still ages away.
    But you'd be wrong. This poem strives to show you just how close it is until Christmas!

    Peter Morgan

    My name is Peter Morgan, I'm 45 and single again, after almost 15 years of marriage. I work full-time as an office manager, but I'm a keen amateur photographer and I like to write too. I'll be posting some photo's here and also sharing some of my memoirs. Dating is a vastly different prospect now, compared to what it was in the late 80s/early 90s and I'm using a lot of my experiences in my stories. Drop by, take a look, say hi!
