Ten Facts about me:

I have three children and a long-suffering wife.
I did my teacher training in County Durham, have taught mostly in Cambridgeshire but also in Sweden and Australia
My favourite pastime is enjoying bacon and eggs with strong coffee while reading the papers on a Sunday morning, then pottering about the garden. I love reading - papers, magazines, fiction, non-fiction it's always a pleasure.
I also like to go walking with friends. See Four Blokes Who Walk.
In the summer I help to organise The Shelford Festival & Feast which raises money for good causes and entertains the good people of Shelford.
In the winter I help with the Little Shelford Pantomime
I have an ongoing hobby of genealogy. My mother's side is Appleby and my father's (surprise!) is Grey.
My pets are my happy hens and my lazy cat.
I love to travel and to record my trips with a camera and a journal.
I like chopping wood for my wood burning stove; it keeps me warm every way - loading and unloading, stacking, cutting, splitting and burning; a wood-burning stove is a pleasure.
I'm about to get a narrow boat called Patience - more info in my blog Patience Afloat .
