I suppose I model for several reasons…

Been doing it since I was a bairn,

I like making things,

Like to be busy (much to wife's annoyance sometimes, "will you just rest? ")

Plus mental health.

 Been through some hard family times, ex firefighter, complex PTSD, you know how it goes.

And like others have said, she has her sewing, dressmaking and friends, I have my hobbies.

So really, I do it so that I don't kill her in her sleep, with a pillow, nice and quiet like…..

Shit… did I say that out loud?
