Biographical Information

1967: At last I achieved a longtime wish and removed to the North Norfolk coast

1990

I retired early, intending to do all the things that earning a living had denied me. Serious illness decided otherwise

Freshwater Fishing: I had followed this hobby since the age of 4years when I visited a locale lake in London with my father. The peace and tranquillity of an early morning visit to a spot in lovely surroundings, with the prospect of a good catch was sufficient to keep my enthusiasm for over 60 years.
Reading: The relaxation from everyday life brought about from literature is something that no child should miss. Whether this is Agatha Christie and perhaps her staid Miss Marple or a travel book enabling you to visit a place that is just a dot on a map. For a youngster, how about "Wind in the Willows" or "Alice through the Looking Glass".
Pre- 1960 films: I spent my youth in a period when the cinema was king. Not the cinema of gratuitous violence, but of films that even now hold their place amongst the most memorable, Try "Gone with the Wind", "Stagecoach" or the renowned British farces like "Arsenic and Old Lace".
