After a 40 year career as a scriptwriter and video producer, which took me round the world working for various blue chip clients, I am now heavily involved with the Lancaster Grand (Britain's third oldest theatre), where I volunteer backstage and also give theatre tours. Another interest is in thwarting scammers and I have been trained as a Scams Champion by National Trading Standards. I am also a qualified steam locomotive fireman.
Travel limited to a 1 hour radius of Kendal eg as south as Wigan, north as Penrith
