What moves me and gets me through the day are 7 main interests. These are TENNIS, PHOTOGRAPHY, BOOKS, FAMILY, HOME, PSYCHOLOGY and FRANCE.
I write creatively some days, which is something I’ve always wanted to do, but never found the time. I joined a writers’ group and there is information about it on a sub-page of BOOKS, called WRITE NOW!

Getting up in the morning can be a problem, but not one I suffer from fortunately. I've always been able to wake easily without an alarm, and am generally up shortly after 6.00 am. I don't go downstairs for quite a while. I start the day in my small book-lined study and write three pages of thought s and ideas, longhand and in ink, while I drink the first cup of tea of the day, made in a teapot. Classic FM plays quietly in the background.
Almost every day I sit at my study desk and write for an hour, sometimes more. I have planned a series of volumes, at the moment called “Unreliable Memoir”, being a third-person account of my life. With that sort of discipline I have already finished three volumes. The first was printed privately at home, just for my three children. The second I self-published, using the excellent resources of “Lulu”. The third is just in its final stages, and at the present time has the title of “Encounters with Strangers”.
