- Biography:
W H Davies was my first subject, born out of COVID boredom. Now researching and writing them is a winter hobby. I have lived and worked in Newport, where Davies was born and now live near Nailsworth, where he died.
Most of my talks are about wanderers, adventurers, restless individuals, I suppose. Certainly they were men who rose to a challenge - in the case of Zeppelin, literally.
I have taught in every sector of education apart from special schools, and done quite a bit of other stuff, too.
