Introduction : Derek

Hi my name is Derek Matthew, 38, (aah, I rarely write my age down). I’m a husband to my wonderful wife Kate and a father to my amazing son Elliot who is 20 months.

I’m a bit of a tech geek and have a secret love for The Forged in Fire tv show.

I hope that my (new) experiences as a father will be helpful to someone who is a father, or thinking of becoming one.

And it’s likely that I’ll have way more questions than I have answers…

First things first: At what point do you stop using Months? The maths are starting to get difficult.
