About Me

Benedict White
I was born in march 1968 in a small village in Hertfordshire, just north of London. My father was English (English father Irish mother) and my mother is Welsh. When I was 2 months old the family moved to the Lebanon. I had some very good times there. We left due to the war in a convoy that was miles long and travelled by road from Beirut to Damascus in an 8 hour journey on the 4th of July 1976. Since then i have lived in Croydon then various parts of Mid Sussex where I now live.
