I am originally from the English Black Country near Wolverhampton, and am proud of my working class roots. However, I broke away, went to university, and have lived and worked for half a century in Bristol. I taught German and French in a large independent school, where I also helped run public exams and did all the “in-house” photography. I like photographing the places I visit, as well as delving into family history, making albums of family photos. A children’s poetry book is a new departure, something for my granddaughter’s next birthday. Apart from taking photos and making books, I have supported Wolverhampton Wanderers for six decades.
