About

In February 2020, when I was 55, I decided to make major changes to my lifestyle. After ensuring my finances were in order, the first thing I did was to fly to India on 20 February 2020 for a month, as I knew I had to go then.

The adventure took me to Varanasi (Holiest City in Hinduism), Bodhgaya (where Buddha attained enlightenment), and Amritsar (Spiritual Centre of Sikhism). On 21 March 2020, I returned to the UK, and the Covid lockdown started on 23 March.

The Covid lockdown was very good for my Painting & Decorating business. Although I will be 61 next year, I have no plans to retire from my decorating business, as I believe physical labour is essential for good health.

As soon as the Covid lockdown ceased I flew to Nepal for my Buddhism.

It could be said that visits to my tailor in Nepal is my main hobby.

Everything I have done since 1997 has been with the kind support and love of my precious wife Ruth. We were married in 2004.

Remote Locations and Flags provide a small window into my life prior to 2020. In addition to this, since 1989 I have travelled the world extensively. Having been a successful campaigner, between 2016 and 2019, I was an East Riding of Yorkshire Council Independent Councillor. In 2025 I joined Stamford Bridge PROBUS.
