I am interested in the local history of Suffolk, where I have lived for the last 20 years. I am happy to share my knowledge with groups in East Anglia. I also have a special interest in canal boating, as an owner of a 58 foot syndicate boat called Honeystreet, having explored most of the waterways network of the UK over the last 16 years. In my spare time I enjoy cryptic crosswords and have run several courses about how to solve these, both in face to face sessions and online.
