Ahoy me hearties! You will find here some background to my presence on this planet on these pages! If you choose to read it you should come away with a good impression of my interests, work experiences and ongoing personal projects. The reason for publishing such information is a desire to let family and friends know about those things that have kept me off the street corner, in my more mature years. An indulgence I know, but please humour me, and I hope the site brings a little warmth to you regardless of my self-indulgence.
I’m fortunate to have a wonderful family, a tolerant and beautiful wife, two gorgeous daughters and two great-grandchildren, one special young man and a lively youngster who will always be my little girl. All will have their own stories to tell and to this extent, you will find only a few family photographs, plus the occasional holiday photo album.
You might observe a general nautical and travel theme from the posts and thro’ links to some pages hosting different photo galleries about holidays enjoyed. This is intentional!
