Now at post-work lifestage, pursuing my old hobby of photography again in between acting as a community service volunteer.

Likes: family, countryside, travel, good food, good wine, best scotch, humour, art galleries and museums, cricket, soccer, rugby, good books on photography, natural history programmes, music..

Dislikes: politicians of whatever persuasion, local government officialdom, petty rules and regulations, wet summers, weather forecasters who get it wrong, gossips, crab sticks.
