This moving presentation follows my personal journey to seek out the remains of my great grandmothers farm. Spurred on by my mother's many amusing stories of her childhood summers at the farm, a plan was hatched to travel deep into the former state of East Germany in the summer of 2017 and search for the remnants of those happy days.
Let me tell you more about the Russian occupation of eastern Germany, its subsequent partition and eventual re-unification. Hear about my mothers last days at the farm which were far from happy.
Is the farm still there, book this talk to find out!

Having spent my career designing buildings, but have now semi-retired. I have always been fascinated by mysteries, and tales of discovery.
I also love business, and the unique blend of economics, sociology and commerce it brings together. Above all, I enjoy social history, industrial archaeology and architecture.
I enjoy giving talks and strongly believe any subject can be fascinating if well researched and presented. In order to widen the potential number of audiences I speak to, I am constantly researching and preparing new topics. I like to think my talks can appeal to a wide variety of audiences. I have been giving talks on a variety of subjects for 30 years.
