Who I am

Who I am

      Hi, I'm Chris Dawber and my nick name is Wagga. I began this blog in the hope of selling a few more books. Yes I wrote a book called "Running For Home" so this blog is mainly about this and there are many snippets and excerpts from the book on this blog.

I'm actually a window cleaner but I've done so many things in the past that even I have trouble believing that it was I that did them all. I have had a life of adventure, danger and sheer farce. The title of the book was inspired by the song "Run For Home" by Lindisfarne.

I was always trying to get home any way I could and this propensity to chicken out of so many responsibilities, was detrimental to whatever I tried to turn my hand to career wise. Though I do not regret much of what I did, I know that I could have done much better had I had the confidence and self esteem to go with it.

However, every cloud has a silver lining and as such, because of all the mishaps and adventures that this sort of lifestyle got me into, gave me a lot to write about. The most hectic period of my life and perhaps the most dangerous, was when I was an aircrew man in the type of helicopter in the picture.

It was a dangerous yet exciting period of my life but it still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end every time I think about all the things that happened.
