Hello and welcome

I have always had a keen interest in wildlife and the great outdoors;

I was an Angler for over 30 years but gave it up a few years ago to

concentrate on photographing wildlife. I lived in Runcorn; Cheshire a

short distance from the M56 that gave me great access to the Wirral,

Northwales and Lancashire, with some great countryside on my doorstep

I didn't have to travel too far in search of wildlife and photographic

opportunities.

Some of my wildlife photographs range from as far afield as Cuba,

Antigua, Saint Martin, Saint Lucia, Dominican Republic, Tuscany ,

Corfu, Turkey, Spain, Portugal.

I now live in the Charente area of western France.

Valentines day

^{Valentine’s Day treat}

^{On Valentine’s Day I had to cook my wife something to eat as she cooks most other days.}

^{I was going to do the meal for two from M&S but decided to cook something special for her as she likes Italian food. However disaster struck as I couldn’t find the tin opener, so the spaghetti hoops were off the menu.}

^{Plan B swung into action but on presenting the alternative meal it soon became apparent the Turkey dinosaurs were still frozen.}

^{Hope next year will be better.}
