Long time TT fans and contributor to the Forum, living in a chaotic and falling apart too small house in west Leicestershire with wife Sandy and son Richard and two dogs of indeterminate breed. It wouldn’t be quite so small if the book purchases were more restrained and occasionally the dining table surface would hove into sight.
Graduated with an honours B.A. in 1990 with the Open University. Branch Organiser for the East Midlands Branch of the Open University Geological Society for eleven years which involved lot of fieldwork which, both immensely enjoyable and sometimes immensely wet. The day job is as a Software Engineer with a software house in Studley, Warwickshire.
Drifted into archaeology by default, having discovered the geology of the Holocene and Postglacial Britain as a result of leading annual field trips into Cornwall to examine mining history, geology, industrial archaeology and ecology and correlating various factors that influence environmental and human changes that may further affect the environment in feedback cycles. Further studies have been made in climate change and sea level variation viewing them as natural processes whose rates of change may be modified by human activity.
Outside these bounds, read, research and write and enjoy cooking and eating the products. The half century has passed.
Special Interest Areas
Palaeolithic to Iron Age. Roman is a little too modern 🙂
