Although born in Yorkshire I spent my youth growing up in North West London until I was 9 years old and the family moved to Ruislip where my Dad had taken a new job. I lived there until I married and moved to the Westcountry where I now live. I am now retired from my job with NHS.

I presently own 2 Mallards and 1 FS. I run them, when time permits, on my loft layout.
