HOME	And if anyone's interested…..

This is me.

I'm 66 yrs old, married, with 3 children, all now grown up, and two grand-daughters. I qualified with a degree in Physics, and after 3 years in Manufacturing Industry changed to IT, first with IBM for 22 years and then with Sema Group UK. I took an early retirement option in 1999 and ran my own Outsource consultancy for 8 years, before finally winding it up in 2007. Now I have all my time to do what I want! Apart that which is taken by family and the support I give to my local FE College where I am on the board of governors.

My likes (apart from growing cactus plants) are

• music (Vivaldi to Copland, Buddy Holly to Madonna), 
• travelling (I can get along in French, and nearly in Spanish), and there are still many more countries I want to visit.
• reading almost everything, including SF (but don't the endless fantasy sagas pall by now?),
• following rugby (somewhat passively I must admit now),
• photography - both 35mm film and digital, and recently HD video!!!
• gardening (yes, normal things, not just prickly greenhouse items)
• food and wine (within limits)
• single malt whisky's
