Printer, Builder, Poet
Stuart Clark
The ideas for my stories were conceived during my time in Jersey. As anyone who was as fortunate as I to have been there during those time will tell you, there was no place like it.
I was a printer in England before I left for Jersey to escape the boredom. Jersey was a melting pot of accents, every county in England was represented, as were the Irish, Welsh and the Scots.
Every night was a Saturday night, and as the saying goes... "The craic was good in Cricklewood when Paddy came to town!"
