Born in Bournemouth of a Yorkshire father & Geordie mother, although I have lived in Birmingham for most of my life. (How’s that for mixed breed!). Married to Carolynne (Carol or Caz.) for nearly 34 years, 3 children, Paul, Samantha & Genevieve. and grand-daughter-Katelyn (aged 2). Early retired from NHS as a support services manager in a residential home (closed through cutbacks!).
I have no qualifications, just an avid interest in history and archaeology. Although Carol is more into Archaeology and would love to go on a dig! In fact the only qualifications I have are in youth leadership and I was involved in Scouting for 23 years as a Leader, retiring as Group Scout Leader when I was 50.
Other interests:- The environment, endangered species (mainly Wolves-a passion.) Music – jazz, blues, rock, classic, “Celtic” country, almost anything. Reading, woodwork, D.I.Y. & chatting to you lot!
