My Life, Family & Interests. |
| Myself
I was born in Derbyshire, England in 1951 and have spent my life in this area. In 1968 I met my wife and we were married in September1970. I have always enjoyed doing things for myself and started with my bicycle, then a motorcycle (Honda 90 C200), and subsequently cars of varying makes. I served an apprenticeship in engineering and then moved into computer aided programming for production machines. This led me into various other aspects of computing and I am currently the IT Support Team Supervisor for a large national company. I became a Christian when I was 15 years old and am an active member in our local Christian Centre. I enjoy various interests such as cycling, hiking, model making, do-it-yourself work, touring the UK & Europe and of course motorcycling. |
| My Family
She is my best friend and we share many interests, as well as having our own different hobbies. In 2006 after a prolonged chronic illness Carol had her left leg amputated above the knee. We have been through many trials together, but we have realised happiness together despite these. Carol now has a nice prosthetic limb. Our daughter was born in January 1972 and as she grew up I used to take her to Motorcycle Race Meetings at Donington Park. Consequently she has developed an interest in motor racing, Barry Sheene and follows the Formula One Grand-Prix. She trained as a nurse and also sharing our beliefs she married a Christian in 1990 and there are now four children, (3 girls & a boy). We also adopted a daughter who was born in April 1974. Unfortunately when she grew up, she resented the fact that we were not her natural parents, and so at 18 years old she left home. She no longer has any contact with us, but is at least doing well with her own hair dressing saloon. We believe in the family as an important unit, |
