Welcome to My Website
Work
I've had a very varied career ranging from teaching, through sales, IT and Knowledge Management to where I find myself now as a photographer and a promoter/developer of the young and fascinating sport of VX.

Interests
I have a wide variety of interests - no time to be bored and not enough hours in the day
View Details
I was born and brought up in the country and even as a child I hated blood sports. Just because you are from the country does not mean you have to like killing animals. This love of animals has stayed with me all my life and ended up with me becoming a campaigner on behalf of animals and becoming vegan. I just wish I'd done it earlier
So what floats my boat?
Animal Rights
I hate how some people treat animals. I hate to see animals mistreated in any way. I hate blood sports and all forms of animal abuse. I am proud to be one of the people trying to be a voice for the voiceless
Classic Cars
Classic cars have always held a fascination for me - even as a kid I liked the old cars. I'm not really interested in anything much since the early 80s though.
Kit Cars
I'm not a classic car snob. I firmly believe you can like both classic cars AND kit cars, same as you can love both dogs and cats. It doesn't have to be mutually exclusive
Steam Railways
I have never been a trainspotter but have always loved steam locos - these things aren't machines but living breathing beasts. Just listen to them pant as they go up an incline. And that heavenly smell of a hot steam engine ...
History
My favourite subject at school was history. Unfortunately I couldn't pursue it as it clashed with German in the options. Periods that hold a particular fascination are the Vikings, the Medieval period, WWI and WWII
Music
This has been a passion as long as I can remember. Unfortunately I can't sing a note! I have a wide taste in music ranging from Roy Orbison, through Cat Stevens to Mott the Hoople and Motörhead - but the favourites are Dr Feelgood and Wilko Johnson
