I am a retired Chartered Surveyor. Since retiring I have joined the local U3A, learnt to play Bridge, taken some casual work at Windsor castle and generally enjoyed the freedom to travel extensively, both within the UK in my Motorhome and further afield, including Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, USA, Thailand, Japan, South America , Canada and Alaska. I have a particular interest in all Historical events. I find as I get older that History is far more interesting than just a series of dates and facts, as we were taught in school so many years ago. I prefer to look at the events that took place through the stories of the people who lived through them. Just as events taking place today will become our stories of the future
