Here I am with Eddy Merckx - the greatest cyclist of all time. Cycling these days is my main passion, and it gives me so much pleasure every day. I have seven bikes. All different and all serve me well.

​

In the past I have participated in many sports and have been a lifelong fitness fanatic. More recently I have become even healthier by giving up alcohol and eating a healthy, but balanced diet. This includes any food that I enjoy even if the modern world has tried to villify it. Namely, I enjoy sweet things, biscuits, cakes, whole milk, butter and cream! - as well as meat, fish salad, fruit and vegetables. I didn't mention in my book how I have grown to love baking and I show three of my efforts below.

​

I am retired now so have more time to pursue the things I want to. One of these has been the pleasure of writing my book. Doing so has brought me many new experiences. Learning about writing is an obvious one, but many others. I had to find a publisher, fine tune a manuscript (with the help of others I should add), and follow the process through to printing. I have opened a Twitter account and designed and created this website - both new experiences for me. Maybe Facebook will follow!
