Hello.

As father of two active young boys, I am often found knee deep in mud exploring nature around Hertfordshire and Essex, searching for wildlife and fungi. When not in the great outdoors, I am acting as weekend chauffeur for many of their sporting and social events!

As lifelong lover of all things motorbike, I am either out riding my bike (when the kids permit), fixing my bike or watching motorsport.

During the lockdown period, I have also attempted to brew my own beer, sometimes successfully, sometimes with messy kitchen explosions…much to the dismay of my wife. Having bought a ‘fixer upper’ five years ago, my personal ‘construction’ project is still on-going and when not dreaming of bikes and beer, I am power tool in-hand, ready to tackle the previous residents’ DIY attempts (or cleaning beer off the ceiling)!
