About me

Here is an updated short biography, more details are available if you get to know me.

I am from Yorkshire.

I have lived in the Bristol area since 1963, and in Bristol since 1983, when I got married.

My wife of 38 years died in January, 2025.

I am romantic, and believe in love.

I can cook, I enjoy gardening, growing herbs, walking by the sea, and in the woods listening to nature.

I am teetotal, partially by choice.

I am disabled, but I can walk, if slowly. My disability is a torn tendon, the short version of the injury is I got it playing sports in the Royal Air Force in 1974. For years, I knew it was there, but it wasn't an issue, until one rainy July day in 2011, when the tendon tore for good.

After leaving the RAF, I worked for Bristol City Council for 15 years in the museums.

My music tastes are varied, ranging from classical to jazz of the 50s, and from folk to rockabilly.

I am an awardwinning writer, a matter I rarely mention
