British by birth and upbringing, living in Sydney, Australia for the last 18 years. Married to a lovely Australian lady - we have a son and a daughter. Terribly confused nationality (except in Rugby where the English have a temporary(?)dominance). Have an addiction to English historical/nautical novels courtesy of Patrick O'Brian. Also enjoy English satirists, biographies and pretty well anything connected with sport and adventure.....too many old rugby injuries for me to do much of that any more, except for the odd bout of windsurfing and catamaran sailing.
