"It suddenly occurred to me that I had spent longer researching T.E.Lawrence than he had lived."
A fascinating insight into the speaker's obsession with the enigmatic "Prince of Mecca".
Accompanying PowerPoint and props.
There were those who hung on Lawrence's every word and others who didn't believe a single one of them. Is there a balance to be struck?

After a first career as an immigration officer at various ports of entry, and having dabbled briefly with the military, I retrained as an interpreter, but somehow became a teacher of modern languages.
My interests include target-rifle shooting, motorcycles, and tinkering with boats. Like many of the recently-retired I engage in a range of voluntary activities. I have also returned to tutoring learners of all ages and find this rewarding.
In 2016 I was awarded the Lidice Memorial Medal for services rendered in the Czech Republic.
The talks that I offer are based around my experiences and interests.
