Born in Norfolk, I spent all of my working life in the field of Teaching English as a Foreign Language, as a teacher, trainer, trainer of trainers, examiner and inspector. I had extended spells of work in Brunei, Thailand, France and Italy.

Now fully retired, I spend a great deal of time outdoors, walking our dog, working in the garden or helping Felbeck Trust. My roles within the Trust are Volunteer Co-ordinator and joint Newsletter Editor.

A life-long mountain walker, I love the outdoors and am happy to do anything I can to help reduce the damage our environment is suffering.
