Hi, I'm Chris and I was born and raised in Southend-on-Sea in the county of Essex in the UK, though my lovely wife and I moved to our new home in Norfolk - also a county in the UK - in 2012. That move caused much disruption and I am now months and years behind in sorting my pics out - so much catch-up now going on.

Our two lovely daughters flew the nest some years ago and live in London and Yorkshire. We also now have on lovely granddaughter. Lovely.

I'm now 50 something large, and still love the outdoors.
