Born in 1956 in the East Anglian Fens in England, I moved to Nottingham to study for my business degree. In line with the current myth of the time, I met, courted, and married a local girl and we have now been married for over 40 years. We still live within 10 miles of Nottingham and have two adult children and have just become grandparents for the fourth time! Following a career in software development and IT management, in 2005 I was forced to give up work to look after both my wife and daughter, both of whom were suffering from, different, life-threatening illnesses. To fill the time and take my mind off of the domestic and financial issues, I eventually turned to my love of both photography and writing.
