I used to be a junior school teacher. Then I moved into adult education and became (among other things) a university tutor.
There used to be more about me available on the website - but I had a falling out with my co-author and we no longer have a website! When there is a new one, the URL will be posted here.
And I did an interview for 1000worlds - somewhere down this page.

Now I am retired I spend my time writing or indulging my other main hobby - carving wood. Those details are at https://www.coquetdalearts.co.uk/alan...

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Later I will come back to whatever was blocked, and maybe I will have an idea, or maybe I will have to throw a lot of it away and start over. So it goes. (less)

Aesthetically Insulted!

I discovered some time back that I am not a natural blogger - but tonight I thought I would get something written while my blood is still hot!

Ye Gods - what a travesty! it didn't start too badly - a few views of the marble 'Laocoo Read more of this blog post »
