While I haven't always been interested in trams, ever since I was a small boy I loved rail vehicles. This was probably because, although I lived in Folkestone where they never had trams (except for a short while at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries when a horse drawn tram ran between Folkestone and Hythe) we often went to London on the train then transferred to a trolleybus or the Underground to get to Dad's folks in Isleworth.

Also he had a mate in Erith who worked for Hornby who made electric trains, as well as an uncle who worked on the Feltham trams and later on Leyland trolleybuses. And his brother-in-law used to be conductor on the Brentford, Isleworth, Twickenham routes

And even as a young Pommy immigrant kid in Kwinana, Western Australia, I loved drawing and painting, probably an inherited thing from my Dad who also fancied himself as a painter. Much of my work has been in pencil and rapidograph pen, but I am finding acrylics seem to suit my style and my impatience a lot better.

I have lately become interested in watercolour.

I live in Kingsley, just north of Perth, Western Australia.
