Hi! I’m Mick Stockton

Hi!

I’m Mick and I live at number 8. I like kayaking, climbing, walking, squash, skiing, boardgames, video games, photography and real ale. I come from Kendal in the lakes and I love getting back whenever I can. My parents still live there, but hope to move across here to see more of the grandkids.

I love cooking and baking and I really wish I had Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s life, but instead i love anything outdoors, and can think of no better place for access to the sea and countryside than Newcastle.

I’ve lived here for 20 years and met my wonderful wife CJ here when I used to be a DJ in nightclubs. I have over 2000 vinyl albums, and I like music, but have a new found love of Radio 4 and Radio 6.

I worked in video games, television, films, special effects and interactive for 10 years. I worked on the Harry Potter films, Slumdog Millionaire, Sunshine, Tomb Raider and many other great films, but at 40 I decided I wanted to do something worthwhile, and I had always wanted to be a teacher, so moved into higher education.

I am married to CJ, and we have two wonderful daughters, Millie and Daya and we live with our two cats – Colin (black) and Noodle (tabby).

I love living on Park View. It’s the best.
