About    Reg Unpacked

For a number of years I have had a desire to establish a website, for no other reason than to understand how websites operate and intereact with the world. I have also wanted to consolidate many of my collections and photographs - so why not learn about websites by setting one up to document my life. It is self indulgent I know, but I'm not out to sell anything, just to satisfy and fulfill two of my goals.

So, 'Reg Unpacked' is my personal platform to document a lifetime of experiences, and interests, with my thoughts, recollections and photographs. Some of the photographs are not the best, but they bring back great memories so I have included them. At 78 years of age there is, thankfully, plenty to document. Join me in exploring the world through my unique perspective. 

AGED 65
