Hi! My Name is Matthew Garrett, from Hay-on-Wye in sunny Wales. |
||
| I've set this site up to make it easier to share some of my photo's with people. If you're here looking it is probably because I've sent you the address, so enjoy and let me know what you think.. | ||
|
N.B. this site may take a while to load as it is mostly photos, so please be patient. |
||

N.B.

I am 35 years old (born 6th September 1969), 6 foot tall (164cm) and weigh 12 and a half stone in weight (80Kilos), grey eyes and short brown hair (with a touch of grey creeping in) and I live in Hay-on-Wye. |
||

I am happily divorced (after eight years) and have two children from this relationship - Gemma (7yo) and Sam (6yo). My children live with their mother, also in Hay-on-Wye, although I do see them regularly. |

I work as a sales director for a large legal software and services company. My job includes selling software and building up and supporting a sales team. I've worked in the legal software market for over 12 years, mostly in sales, but I have done a few other bits and pieces. I get to travel all over the UK, but work from my home in Hay-on-Wye |
||

||
My
interests? Well I like playing around on the internet, mostly looking
for new ideas for web sites to set up. I listen to a lot of music,
varying from metallica to moby and U2 to eminem. 
|
||
|
||
[M Garrett sat on duff sofa that needs replacing] |
||
| I don't watch much TV, but do try to find the time for Star Trek (my favourite being Next Generation) and Buffy. I also like comedy programs such as Scrubs, Becker and Coupling. | ||
|
||
[Matthew Garrett camping in south wales] |
||
| I try to get away with the kids for a holiday in the summer, this photo was from a few days camping in south Wales last year. We went to Tenby this year and it just rained, so we came home to Hay-on-Wye and the sun came out... just typical . | ||
|
||
[matthew garrett with kids] |
||
| This is me and the kids. not sure why we all doing a silly grin. We were visiting some caves somewhere (Dan-yr-ogof I think), a good day out, considering it rained a lot. | ||
|
||
[matt garrett getting some air!] |
||
| I also enjoy skiing, a lot. normally I go away for a week with a bunch of friends each year. This was the first year I've missed in about 7 years, next year (2003) I plan on taking my kids skiing for their first time. | ||
|
||
[M C Garrett on slopes] |
||
| For some reason my friends have a tendency to take the fun out of my taste in ski attire. | ||
|

I've
never been able to work out why... 
|

|
||
[Matthew C Garrett in office] |
||
| This is my office (converted from a garage). When I'm not on the road visiting clients this is where I spend most of my time. It is great to live somewhere like Hay-on-Wye and work from home, but also travel all over the country seeing clients. Well, apart from the odd traffic jam... | ||
|
||
[Matt Garrett in the shed] |
||
| I also enjoy getting out on my bike and even have a pair of roller blades, although I don't get out on them much, I've never quite got to grips with stopping, without falling over or bumping in to something that is. I also have a scooter which I sometimes use to go to the pub. | ||
|
||
[matthew garrett at Oakwood park] |
||
| Ah, this was on a trip to Oakwood park in south Wales last year. I was about to go on a ride called Vertigo. | ||
|
||
[Vertigo at Oakwood park!] |
||
| They basically strap you in to a harness, winch you up to the top of this thing and let you go... | ||
|
||
[Matthew Garrett on Vertigo!] |
||
| It's
quite an adrenalin rush.
|
||
|
||
[matt garrett and Tango!] |
||
| This is my cat, Tango. He's a fat lazy ginger tom cat. | ||
|
||
[Tango catchin' some rays] |
||
| He's also the coolest cat I know. | ||
|
||
[Tango the mouser!] |
||
| Although he's not a very good mouser. | ||

couldn't resist adding this one, it's a little old, but proves that I
do have a sweet tooth.

This is a local view across the River Wye with Hay-on-Wye in the foreground. Hay is a beautiful place to live, with the black mountains and Brecon becons on the back doorstep, the scenery is spectacular. Hay-on-wye is a very popular tourist spot, and not just for the bookshops. If you want to see more about Hay-on-Wye visit www.hay-on-wye.co.uk. It's a good web site run by a good friend of mine, Giles Morgans. He also runs a web site business, so if you like the site and want some help let me know and I'll put you in touch with him. |
